New Zealand captain Ross Taylor wins the toss and elects to bowl against West Indies in the Super Eights match of the World Twenty20 in Pallekele, on Monday.

New Zealand are without their top bowler Daniel Vettori, who is out because of soreness of his left Achiless, and is replaced by left-arm spinner Ronnie Hira.

Kane Williamson makes way for all-rounder Jacob Oram, who missed the last match because of an injury.

For West Indies, it is a straight swap between the Bravo brothers as the injured Dwayne gives way to Darren, while leg-spinner Samuel Badree replaces pacer Fidel Edwards.

Both teams need to win this match to keep their hopes alive of making it to the semi-finals. The winner will not be guaranteed a place in the last four but their progress will also depend on the result of the Sri Lanka vs England match to be played later.
