For New Zealand, Brendon McCullum returns to the T20 squad after being rested for the two T20s against West Indies.

 On the weather front, there is no good news. Heavy overnight rains in Visakhapatnam hampered the practice sessions of both the teams on Thursday.

 Cricinfo wrote, "Heavy rain on Thursday forced the players indoors, cancelling both practice sessions.

"More rain has been forecast for Saturday, but the officials say that the covers - which can protect most of the outfield - and three super soppers can mop up the ground in case of an interruption."

 ESPN Star Cricket will telecast the T20 matches live in India and other Asian countries.
