New Zealand are almost desperate to win the toss and bat in order to avoid the pressure Sehwag puts them under right away. It is Sehwag’s unpredictability and unconventional batting that they fear most. Vettori made an interesting comparison between tackling Sehwag and Chris Gayle. “I suppose with Gayle we have got a feel of where he is going to hit and have more opportunities to block him out,” Vettori said. “With Sehwag, he has got so many quality players around him, so that gives him a sort of licence. It’s not in just one area we can block with Sehwag, we have seen him hit in a lot of areas. He is a great player, and with great players the best-laid plans can go awry.

“I suppose the guys run in and maybe second-guess what’s going to happen. We have got to tell ourselves that we have got to bowl in our area, and if we get hit from there we can live with that.”

To spice things up the third ODI will be played at the AMI Stadium with its odd shape and extremely short square boundaries. Sehwag’s fitness wasn’t a source of concern for India on the eve of the match – Mahendra Singh Dhoni played it down – and in all likelihood he will be there to impose himself on the game again. New Zealand will just have to find a way past him.
