India vs New Zealand, 2nd ODI – IND vs NZ Cricket Match Preview, Prediction, Where To Watch, Probable 11 And Fantasy 11 Tips

After a thrilling win in the 1st ODI, team India would look to seal the 3-match series with a win in the 2nd ODI against New Zealand.

IND vs NZ 2nd ODI: Match Preview:

In the 1st ODI, Shubman Gill grabbed all the traction with his record-breaking double ton, becoming the youngest batter to score a double century in ODIs. Gill smashed 208 runs in just 149 balls, smacking 19 fours & 9 sixes. However, the 2nd highest score in the team was Rohit Sharma's 34 runs. Suryakumar Yadav scored 31 runs while none of the other batters managed to cross the 30-run mark. 

Defending a total of 349, Indian bowlers were given a mighty scare by the Kiwi lower order. However, the Mohammed Siraj-led Indian bowling attack bowled well to the top order, diminishing New Zealand to 131/6 in a high-run chase. Siraj was yet again the top-wicket taker with 4 wickets to his name, while Kuldeep Yadav and Shardul Thakur registered 2 wickets each. Shardul bowled the last over under high pressure and managed to seal the match with a priced wicket of Bracewell. Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya also registered 1 wicket each. 

For New Zealand, Devon Conway had the most expectations on his back and failed to live up with just 10 runs to his name. His opening partner Finn Allen scored 40 runs off 39 balls but failed to score bigger. After the specialist batters failed, Michael Bracewell came on and along with Mitchell Santner, brought the Kiwis unbelievably close to a win. Bracewell scored 140 runs and was well-assisted by Mitchell Santner's 57 runs. 

The bowling was pretty average in the absence of Tim Southee, Matt Henry and Ish Sodhi as the Kiwis conceded a total of 349 runs while bowling first. Henry Shipley and Daryl Mitchell grabbed 2 wickets each while Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner and Mitchell Santner managed 1 wicket each.
