IND Vs NZ 2nd ODI : The Kiwis off to a terrible start, lose 5 wickets within 15 runs

After winning the toss at the Shaheed Veer Singh Stadium, Raipur, India elected to bowl first to test themselves in difficult situations and prevail from different challenges. This is what Rohit Sharma had to say after flipping the coin. He had a little moment during the toss too as he was seen contemplating on electing to bowl or bat first.\

Regardless, his decision to let New Zealand bat first has proved to be a wise one as the pitch at Raipur usually favors the bowlers and today it has been on full display.

The Blues have picked quick wickets thanks to their improved performance than the last match. Their Fielding is also another reason why India took 5 wickets within the first 10 overs. Line, length and seam positioning of the bowlers especially Mohammad Siraj and Shami have been bang on.

Shami took the charge early on in the very first over as he removed a dangerous Finn Allen in the 5th ball for a duck. 1st down Henry Nicholls was the second batter to go back to the pavilion for a score of 2 as Mohammad Siraj edged him out.

Then by the next 7 runs, the Blackcaps were 15/5 with Devon Conway, Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell going out cheaply. Now, Glenn Phillips and star batter in the first ODI Micheal Bracewell have the responsibility of steadying NZ’s innings and their primary target will be to put at least 200 runs on the board.
