Detailed summary

Put in to bat, New Zealand struggled to gain any momentum as ⁠India's pace attack dismantled their batting lineup.

India’s seam bowlers thrived in helpful conditions for a second straight one-day international as they beat New Zealand by four runs on Saturday to take a 2-0 series lead.

New Zealand were unable to defend their total of 134, with wet conditions in Wellington having reduced game two to a maximum of 47 overs each and made batting conditions treacherous.

India were 113-7 off 26 overs when rain ended play, four runs ahead of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern par score of 109.

KL Rahul was at the crease on 26 and Auqib Nabi on one, with the pair having done just enough to put the tourists in front.
