Gill opts to bowl, Siraj and Kuldeep miss out as India go with four pacers vs NZ

India's decision to field first in the ODI against New Zealand was made after winning the toss. Captain Shubman Gill explained that they opted for a pace-heavy attack to exploit the conditions. New Zealand made changes to their lineup, with Tim Seifert replacing Devon Conway due to a head injury. The toss was delayed, and the match's live action commenced shortly afterward.
