IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Rohit Sharma-led India will face Tom Latham-marshalled New Zealand in the 2nd One Day International (ODI) at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on January 21 (Saturday). The IND vs NZ contest will begin at 1:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). Down below is everything you need to know about India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI.
Riding on the back of Shubman Gill’s double century, the Men in Blue got off to a winning start against New Zealand by the barest of margins in Hyderabad. India produced a competitive total of 349 runs in 50 overs, all thanks to Shubman Gill, who kept scoring consistently and scored his maiden ODI double ton.
Defending 349 runs, India were always on top of the game and were easily dominating the opposition. None of New Zealand’s top five batters could score more than 40 runs and it, seemed, at one point that it was going to be an effortless win for the hosts. However, Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner had other plans as they began their assault against the Indian bowlers.
While Mitchell Santner scored 57 runs from 45 deliveries, Michael Bracewell wreaked havoc and took the Kiwis nearly over the rope as he tormented the Indian bowling lineup for fun. Bracewell, despite falling short of a partner at the other end, scored 140 runs from just 78 deliveries and kept New Zealand’s hopes alive.
However, in the end, it was just not meant to be his game. In the final over, Shardul Thakur got him lbw and India won the game by 12 runs. With the win, India took a 1-0 lead in the three-game ODI series.
Despite losing the first game, New Zealand had several positives from it. The visitors would try to capitalise on the positives and come out better prepared in the next game. On the other side, India would look to continue their winning momentum and gain an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the second game itself.
