New Zealand batter Mark Chapman has been ruled out of the second ODI due to hamstring injury. Tim Seifert has been called in as the replacement.

Tim Seifert has played three ODI's for the Kiwis till date. Chapman, who hammered a career-best 132 in the series opener in Napier, has flown back to Auckland for rehabilitation. But Chapman is expected to join the Blackcaps squad for the third and final ODI of the series on April 5 in Mount Maunganui.

Tim Seifert got rare ODI call-up in place of Chapman. Seifert featured Blackcaps for three ODI's, accumulating only 27 runs with the highest score of 22.

"It's obviously disappointing news for Mark, after a really special innings in the opening ODI in Napier," Stead said. "We're thankful that the hamstring injury is only minor so we're hopeful that Mark will be able to complete his rehabilitation and be available for the final match of the summer in the Mount.

"With several new faces in this squad it's great to be able to call on a player of Tim's experience. He's in good form after a great T20 series and he provides another strong top-order batting option heading into an important match tomorrow."

New Zealand thrashed Pakistan by 73 runs in the first ODI in Napier. The hosts posted a formidable total of 344/9 in their 50 overs, led by a swashbuckling century from Mark Chapman [132]. In reply, Pakistan were bowled out for 271 in 44.1 overs, with Babar Azam top-scoring with 78 off 83 balls and some 40's knocks from Abdullah Shafique and Usman Khan.

The second ODI will be held in Hamilton on Wednesday.
