IND vs NZ 2nd ODI: The second match of the three-match series is being played between Team India and New Zealand in Hamilton. In this match, the captain of the host team, Kane Williamson once again won the toss and invited Team India to bat first. The forecast of rain on this match also proved to be correct. Due to heavy rain on the last ball of the fifth over, the umpires had to stop the match in the middle. At that time Team India scored 22 runs without losing wickets. In which Shubman Gill contributed 19 runs and captain Shikhar Dhawan contributed only 2 runs.
Two changes made in Team India:
After the defeat in the first match, Team India has made two major changes in the Hamilton ODI. In this, once again Sanju Samson had to be dropped from Team India. In his place, Deepak Hooda was given a place in the team. While Rishabh Pant, who has been struggling for form for a long time, got a chance to play once again. At the same time, another change was seen in the team in the form of Deepak Chahar. Chahar has been included in the team in place of Shardul Thakur. Shardul Thakur did not do much in bowling in the last match. But the decision to drop Sanju Samson from the team is very upsetting to the fans. Samson batted well in the last match, while Pant could not do much.
Will Team India be able to break this series of defeat..?
Since the last ODI World Cup, the New Zealand team has defeated Team India five times. Even during the 2019 World Cup, the Kiwi team had broken the dream of winning the World Cup by defeating Team India. On Friday, New Zealand got their fifth consecutive win against India. With this, it became the 50th win of the Kiwi team against India in the history of ODI cricket. Now it has to be seen whether under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan, Team India can break the series of this defeat against the Kiwi team or not…?
