After having suffered a defeat at the hands of India in the opening encounter at Napier the Kiwis will be eager to bounce back. Team India on the other hand is aiming for ascendance in the series, 2-1 lead in a five-match ODI series. They’ve already made it clear that skipper Virat Kohli will only play the first half of the series hence it becomes even more important that they secure the series.

New Zealand know the chinks in their armour and Kane Williamson would want to ensure the extent of this vulnerability isn’t exposed out in the open. It was the Indian spin-twin that ran through the whole of the Kiwi middle and lower order which restricted them to a below-par total that didn’t strain the strong Indian batting line-up tad bit.

Match Details:

2nd ODI will be hosted by the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.

The match starts at 3:00 PM local time (2:00 AM GMT) (7:30 AM IST).

Pitch Report:

The Bay Oval pitch is termed an outright turning track. It is expected that there will be ample assistance for the spinners and the ball will turn as the game progresses.
