West Indies win toss, bowl in second T20 vs New Zealand

West Indies captain Kieron Pollard won a rain-delayed toss and chose to bowl Sunday in the second Twenty20 cricket international against New Zealand at Bay Oval.

New Zealand leads the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first match at Auckland by five wickets with four balls to spare.

The West Indies named allrounder Kyle Mayers to make his T20 debut in place of Kesrick Williams.

New Zealand named leg-spinner Ish Sodhi in place of fast bowler Hamish Bennett, expecting the Bay Oval pitch to be slower than Auckland.

Showers delayed the toss by 30 minutes but no overs have been lost.

New Zealand: Tim Seifert, Martin Guptill, Glenn Phillips, Devon Conway, Ross Taylor, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee (captain), Kyle Jamieson, Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi.

West Indies: Andre Fletcher, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer, Kieron Pollard (captain), Fabian Allen, Keemo Paul, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas, Kesrick Williams.

Umpires: Chris Brown and Shaun Haig, New Zealand. TV umpire: Wayne Knights, New Zealand.

Match referee: Jeff Crowe (New Zealand).
