India vs New Zealand Match Prediction
National teams
Narendra Modi Stadium
Second match of the series was a low scoring game where New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first, but their decision went wrong when the whole team reached the pavilion at the basic score of 99 runs. At this turning wicket of red soil no New Zealand batsman reached the 20 runs mark. Santner was the highest scorer with 19 runs. For India Arshdeep picked the most two wickets.
Pitch played the role of a villain for batsmen as Indians also didn’t have a good start but at last Surya Kumar Yadav took India for a winning chase. He played sensible cricket by making partnerships with one and two's rather than playing airy shots.
Third match will be like the finale of the series as both the teams would like to secure the series title.
