NZ vs IND, 2nd ODI Preview

New Zealand bring a 1-0 lead into this second ODI of the three match series on Sunday afternoon at Seddon Park, Hamilton. Friday’s opening match saw New Zealand win the toss before restricting India to 306-5. In reply, the hosts reached the target with seven wickets and 17 balls remaining. New Zealand have an experienced ODI side and when players like Kane Williamson and Tom Latham perform like they did on Friday, they are very hard to beat. We expect another top performance from the hosts in Hamilton. India put in a good showing in Auckland and they will certainly be competitive again at Seddon Park. Their batters were particularly impressive in the opening match or the series.

Topmost Picks for NZ vs IND Dream11 Prediction, 2nd ODI:

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Devon Conway– The keeper-batter has scored centuries in Tests and ODIs with a top score of 99 not out in IT20s. He very rarely throws his wicket away in any format and will be a key batter for his side in Hamilton.
• Lockie Ferguson– The right arm quick bowler took 3-59 in the opening game of the series, dismissing Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant and Suryakymar Yadav.

Top Picks – India

• Shreyas Iyer– The 27 year old is far more comfortable in ODIs than in IT20s and he top scored for India with 80 in the first ODI. He will be full of confidence ahead of this match.
• Umran Malik- Cricket lovers across the globe are very excited by the fast bowler who has already played three IT20s. He dismissed Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell in Friday’s game.

NZ vs IND 2nd ODI Probable Winners:

As expected ahead of the opening game, it was New Zealand’s greater experience with the ball which was the difference between the sides. We expect the same to be crucial in this fixture. It was an excellent opening ODI of the series on Friday and the wicket in Hamilton looks likely to deliver another high scoring contest on Sunday. Both teams have experienced and strong batting line-ups but New Zealand have the edge with the ball as India’s pace bowlers are in the early days of their international careers. We think the experience will count for a great deal and are backing New Zealand to win. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
