NewZealand Innings Summary: After coming under a severe assault in the first ODI, the Indian bowlers unleashed their fury to skittle out the visitors for 108 in the second ODI. The Indian new ball bowlers ran riot on a pitch that had decent grass cover, making use of the favourable bowling conditions on offer.
Mohammad Shami was the wreaker-in-chief, scalping three wickets. Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar picked two wickets each. While Siraj, Kuldeep and Shardul took one wicket each. Opting to bowl first, the Indian pace attack made sure that the decision to field stood right as they ran through the New Zealand batting lineup, with Shami drawing first blood. The right-arm pacer got the hosts to a flying start, dismissing Finn Allen for a duck.
Mohammed Siraj struck in the sixth over to get rid of Henry Nicholls 2(17), giving the hosts their second breakthrough. Shami continued to be a menace for the batters as he got rid of Daryl Mitchell 1(3) in the seventh over. The Kiwi batter got a leading edge and the ball popped up to Shami.
The visitors sank deeper after Hardik Pandya plucked a catch out of thin air in his followthrough to dismiss Devon Conway 7 (16). Things went from bad to worse as the Kiwis lost skipper Tom Latham 1 (17) to pacer Shardul Thakur in the 11th over. With that, Kiwis were reduced to 15/5 in 10 overs.
Michael Bracewell, the last match’s hero for New Zealand did play a few eye-catching shots. He stitched a 41-run partnership with Glenn Phillips for the sixth wicket. However, Shami returned for his second spell to break the partnership, sending Bracewell 22 (30). NewZealand were able to get in a partnership of 47 runs for the seventh wicket. Glenn Phillips and Mitchell Santner took the visitors past the 100-run mark. But with Hardik and Sundar striking again, Kiwis were bowled out for 108.
