India have won the toss and opted to bat first in the series-decider against New Zealand here at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

Live Scorecard - IND vs NZ, 5th ODI

After winning the toss, India's limited-overs skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said, "A bit of swing because of the humidity. It's a decider, makes it more interesting and it will give plenty of experience to the youngsters. As a batting unit, we have not played up to potential."

His New Zealand counterpart Kane Williamson, on the other hand, said the surface looked good before adding that they need to make a strong start by bowling well.

"We expect some dew. Improving is the main thing and we have done that in the ODIs after the Tests. Hopefully we can restrict India to a small total. Tough to read surfaces here, especially with the dew," he said.

In the high-octane match, India will aim to showcase that they are still a dominant force in the 50-over cricket, whereas the visitors will seek to script history by clinching their first ODI series in India.

As far as Playing XI is concerned, India will hand ODI debut to Jayant Yadav while fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah returns after recovering fully from an injury.

The Black Caps have brought in Corey Anderson in place of Anton Devcich.

The five-match series is currently levelled at 2-2 following India's 19-run defeat against the Kiwis in the third match in Ranchi.

India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma , Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Umesh Yadav, Jayant Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.

New Zealand Playing XI: Tom Latham, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, James Neesham, Luke Ronchi, BJ Watling, Corey Anderson, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult.

India withdraw Smith protest as boards make peace in DRS row

India have withdrawn an official protest about the actions of Australia captain Steve Smith in the second test as the governing bodies of both countries moved to bring an end to the acrimony surrounding the ongoing four-match series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier registered a complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) over Smith looking to the dressing room for guidance on whether to review an lbw decision during the Bengaluru match. Despite the hosts winning the test to level the series at 1-1 on Tuesday, India skipper Virat Kohli alleged the tourists had indulged in the practice throughout the match, sparking a war of words in the media and a robust response from Australia. The boards released a joint statement on Friday saying the chief executives of both bodies had met in Mumbai on Thursday and agreed to try and bring the focus "back to the game" ahead of next week's third test in Ranchi. "India has always cherished a c...
