The Dutch brought in Sybrand Engelbrecht for Saqib Zulfiqar and Ryan Klein replaces Logan van Beek who suffered a hamstring injury in their opening 81-run defeat against Pakistan, also in Hyderabad on Friday.

New Zealand, who downed title-holders England by nine wickets in their first game last Thursday, opted for Lockie Ferguson in place of Jimmy Neesham.

Captain Kane Williamson is still sidelined but is expected to play in the next game against Bangladesh.

"It looks a decent surface, hopefully we can put some runs on the board and defend later on," said Tom Latham, the New Zealand skipper.
