Rain rescues India in a low-scoring thriller against New Zealand

详细摘要

Rain ended India's troubled chase at 113/7 after New Zealand were dismissed for 134. The DLS victory secured a 2-0 lead but exposed India's batting concerns.

India have a 2-0 lead in the series, but they had to sweat for it in Wellington. After bowling New Zealand out for 134, India turned a modest chase of 135 into a nervy affair, losing seven wickets before rain brought the second ODI to an end. At 113/7 after 26 overs, they were four runs ahead of the DLS par score, enough to seal the win but not enough to avoid the questions.

It was an unusual finish to a match in which India's bowlers had been firmly in control. Gurnoor Brar led the way with a career-best 4/30, while Anshul Kamboj, Auqib Nabi and Axar Patel picked up two wickets each. Arshdeep Singh went wicketless but kept New Zealand quiet with an economical spell of 7-1-16-0.

The batters could not match that effort. Shubman Gill fell for a golden duck, Virat Kohli made seven and Rohit Sharma managed 17.
