Wellington, March 6 (IANS) India’s skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat in the second One-Day International (ODI) against New Zealand at the Westpac Stadium here Friday. While India retained the side that won the first ODI at Napier by 53 runs, New Zealand were forced to make one change as their wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum, who badly bruised his right thumb in the last game, is playing only as batsman and Peter McGlashan of Northern Districts is keeping wickets.
