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.

Manchester United to do everything to get Rashford ready for Liverpool clash

Leeds [UK], Jan 16 (ANI): Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said they will do 'everything' they can to get Marcus Rashford in shape for the Liverpool clash. Rashford sustained a back injury on Thursday during the FA Cup clash against Wolves on Thursday and left the field. "He's a quick healer and he'll play through some pain, definitely, if he's capable, if it's not a bad, bad injury. But we've seen that he's struggled lately - but more when he's been tired," Goal.com quoted Solskjaer as saying. "He wasn't on long enough to be tired so I think it might have been something that just happened there and then. He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added.
