Overview

Despite rain interrupting the game briefly during the second ODI in Hamilton, New Zealand emerged victorious over the visitors by 15 runs in the second ODI courtesy of Duckworth-Lewis method.

Kane Williamson's excellent batting form has been vital for the hosts as his 71 and 77 in the first and second ODI respectively has helped his side post a good total.

The match was reduced to 42 over's but Corey Anderson (44) and Ross Taylor (57) ran riot in the last eight over's to take their team's total to 271 runs. The D/L method then adjusted the total to 297 for India to chase in their innings within the limited over's.

Virat Kohli (78) scored his second half-century in as many matches and skipper MS Dhoni scored 56 as India posted a total of 277 runs before running out of wickets.

Tim Southee starred on the day for the Black Caps nabbing four crucial wickets while Mohammed Shami continued his fine bowling for the visitors taking three wickets taking his overall total to seven in two matches.

India have already lost the first ODI match by 24 runs after failing to chase a target of 292 set by the hosts.

The home side lead the five-match ODI series 2-0 and the visiting skipper will be hoping that his side will put in a better shift to avoid a loss on Saturday; knowing that it will condemn his side to a defeat in the series.
