India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI in Auckland weather update: Sunny in the day, partly cloudy in evening but no chances of rain

Ross Taylor played one of his best ODI knocks in the first ODI to help New Zealand take 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series in Hamilton. Despite some good batting performances and putting up 347 on the scoreboard, Indians ended up on the losing side, which should be a matter of concern for captain Virat Kohli. The fact that barring Jasprit Bumrah, every bowler bowled with an economy rate of more than 6, tells the whole story. At Eden Park, in Auckland, Indians will have to be at their best with the ball in hand, to defeat the Kiwis, who seem to be getting back on track after 5-0 drubbing in the T20I series.

As far as the weather is concerned, Auckland is expected to see sunshine in the afternoon, according to Accuweather. By the night time, the weather app suggests that it may get partly cloudy. However, there are no chances of rain, which is a good news. The second ODI is also a day-night clash and the match will begin at 7.30 am (IST).
