The visitors lead the five-match series 1–0 after securing a seven-wicket victory at the same venue on Wednesday.

New Zealand: Tim Robinson, Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (captain), Zakary Foulkes, Kyle Jamieson, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy.
