Overview

India started the five-match ODI series thrashing New Zealand by six wickets in the first game on 16 October (Sunday). Debutant Hardik Pandya was the star of the show, picking up three for 31 to take home the player of the match award. India bowled the Kiwis out for 190 and Virat Kohli led his team to victory with an unbeaten 85 off 81 balls. Middle order batsman Suresh Raina is out of the second game due to viral fever which means that the Men in Blue will go in with the same line-up that played on Sunday.

New Zealand who lost the Test series 3-0 were expected to put up a better fight in the shorter format of the game but came a cropper. Tom Latham and Tim Southee were the only batsmen to put up a fight, with Latham scoring an unbeaten 79, only the 10th batsman in ODI history to carry his bat through. With just 190 to defend, the bowlers faced an uphill task. The Kiwis are not expected to make any changes to their squad.
