New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat in the second and final one-day international against Pakistan at Napier's McLean Park on Tuesday.
The match is the final hit-out for both sides before the World Cup begins on February 14.
New Zealand made four changes to the team that coasted to a seven-wicket win in Wellington on Saturday, resting Tom Latham, Kyle Mills, and Corey Anderson.
Kane Williamson, Daniel Vettori and Tim Southee come into the starting XI.
"It looks a good wicket and if we get a score on the board it gives us the ability to try to be as desperate as we can in the field later on," skipper Brendon McCullum said after deciding to bat.
Pakistan named an unchanged line-up.
Teams:
New Zealand - Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum (capt), Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Grant Elliott, Luke Ronchi, Nathan McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Trent Boult.
Pakistan - Mohammad Hafeez, Ahmed Shehzad, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), Haris Sohail, Umar Akmal, Sarfraz Ahmed, Shahid Afridi, Bilawal Bhatti, Ehsan Adil, Mohammad Irfan.
