India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI LIVE: The second ODI of India vs New Zealand will be the continuation of the fight for momentum which India brought from the first match. India brilliantly published their victory by two wickets over New Zealand. Kohli scored 93 runs and was the main contributor to India’s chase of 301 from the start till his wicket fell, which triggered a New Zealand comeback and made the match very close. It was the composure of the players present at the wicket that decided the outcome, as KL Rahul was the one who kept his cool and Harshit Rana was the one who contributed importantly with 29 runs thereby helping India to a thrilling finish crossing the line.

Team management and captain Shubman Gill will have to decide whether to give Badoni a chance or go with Nitish Kumar Reddy as it will depend on the overall structure they want in the playing XI.
