New Zealand has won the toss and elected to bowl first. New Zealand has played 5 fast bowlers in the final including all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme.
The Day 1 of the World Test Championship was washed out and after the wash out there were speculations that India might change their 11 but it didn't happened.
New Zealand are with almost the same lineup as that played against England where they won the two-match series by 1-0.
