NZvIND 2nd ODI report: Indian pacers influence victory as rain has the final say

It was India’s attack that set the tone for a low-scoring thriller, although New Zealand’s bowlers had their say too, but ultimately, the game went in the Men in Blue’s favour after the weather stepped in. New Zealand bowled out for 134

Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first in a reduced 47-over ODI, extending India’s run of luck with the coin throughout the tour. New Zealand never recovered from a brutal powerplay, Auqib Nabi removing Tim Seifert and Will Young inside the first six overs, Anshul Kamboj striking in his very first over too, and the Black Caps slipped to 29/3 after 10 overs. Gurnoor Brar was the standout bowler through the middle overs, running through Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, skipper Mitchell Santner, and Blair Tickner. Darryl Mitchell’s fighting 55 was the lone bright spot, but New Zealand were bowled out for just 134 in 41 overs. Rohit’s cameo, Kohli’s quiet milestone
