New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won the toss and opted to bowl in the fourth one-day international against Pakistan in Karachi on Friday.
Pakistan, who have already clinched an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, were forced to leave out Mohammad Nawaz after he injured a finger in the third match on Wednesday. Also out are Imam-ul-Haq, Shadab Khan, Abdullah Shafique and Naseem Shah.
They are replaced by Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Haris, Haris Rauf and Usama Mir.
New Zealand made three changes with James Neesham, Ben Lister and Blair Tickner coming in for Adam Milne, Henry Shipley and Henry Nicholls. Lister, a 27-year-old left-arm pacer, is making his ODI debut.
The final match is on Sunday, also in Karachi.
