NZ vs IND Match Details — 2nd ODI

After being hammered by Kohli's pull shots, New Zealand will host India for the second ODI at Sky Stadium in Wellington on November 7th at 7:30 AM IST. NZ has already lost the T20I series 3-2 and is trailing 1-0 in the ongoing ODI series. 

New Zealand had a bad start to the ODI series, being bowled out for just 185 in 41 overs. Tim Seifert was their leading scorer with 38 off 43 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup suffered against India's pace attack. Jacob Duffy took three wickets for 49 runs, but New Zealand could not prevent India from winning by five wickets using the DLS method. Meanwhile, India cruised to a five-wicket victory in the first ODI. Arshdeep Singh led a bowling attack with four wickets, while Gurnoor Brar claimed three. Anshul Kamboj was similarly outstanding, conceding only 22 runs in 10 overs while taking two wickets. In the chase, Virat Kohli scored an aggressive 74 off 51 balls, with Shubman Gill contributing 37.
