New Zealand Cricket: New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell has been ruled out of the second ODI against the West Indies after experiencing discomfort in his thigh during the match-winning century in the series opener.

"Daryl Mitchell will not travel to Napier with the BLACKCAPS today and will instead undergo a scan on his left groin in Christchurch this morning," New Zealand Cricket said on Monday.
