Pace bowler Tim Southee will miss the match as he recovers from a knee injury.
ND will still have six current Black Caps for tomorrow's game, including debutants Neil Wagner and Colin De Grandhomme.
Trent Boult, Kane Williamson, BJ Watling and Ish Sodhi will all line up for ND.
ND coach John Bracewell is hopeful Southee will be fit for the round two match against Canterbury.
