Martin Guptill will miss the second ANZ ODI of the Chappell-Hadlee in Napier, after feeling tightness in his hamstring during the opening match at Eden Park.
Coach Mike Hesson said it was a minor hamstring strain and as a precautionary measure Guptill won’t be considered for the second ODI.
“Martin felt tightness in his left hamstring while fielding yesterday and after being monitored over the last 24 hours it’s become apparent he won’t quite be ready for Napier.“
"He’ll remain with the team and we’ll continue to monitor him ahead of the third ODI in Hamilton.”
