Despite losing the first Twenty20 international, India are unlikely to make any change in the team for the second and last Twenty20 match against New Zealand here Friday.

Both the captains Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Daniel Vettori felt that the outcome of the match was irrelevant in getting a psychological advantage for the forthcoming one-day and Test series.

Dhoni shrugged off the defeat and said that it was a learning process and would help the players get used to the types of pitches they could expect in the series.But Dhoni admitted that the Indian batsman have to show more responsibility and care in shot selection when the wickets are down.

'At times when you're successful (hitting sixes) it looks very good but you have to realise what a safe score is on that wicket. You have to decide whether you want to push for 200 or a score you can defend,' he said on the eve of the match here Thursday.

The Black Caps captain also admitted that the way Virender Sehwag started the innings for India, he felt that the target might be out of reach.'We have got to be so precise to get through that initial (batting) onslaught. It took us a little while to catch up so the next game there'll be huge expectations on our opening bowlers to get us off to a more precise start,' he said.
