India will look to get back to winning ways when they take on New Zealand in the second ODI of the series on Saturday in Eden Park, having lost the first match by four wickets.
The hosts, who headed into the series as underdogs, sprung a surprise on the visitors when Ross Taylor (109), Tom Latham (69) and Henry Nicholls (78) combined to chase down India’s mammoth total of 347 with 11 balls to spare. For India, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul played two good knocks, with Iyer going on to score hid maiden ton in ODIs. Rahul struck a brilliant 64-ball 88 to help India reach 347/4 at the end of the 50 overs. However, as it turned out, it was not enough on that day.
The win provided a much-needed boost of morale to the New Zealand side, who were swept 5-0 by India in the T20I series, and they will look to capitalise on this momentum and secure victory in the series with a match to spare.
