In the second match, India’s chase of 135 runs was interrupted by rain, and they secured victory by four runs under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.

On the toss decision, Shubman Gill said, “We are going to bowl first. Hopefully the weather clears and we will repeat the good things we have done. It is frustrating. Same team.”
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner commented, “We got a good training session yesterday. The pitch has been under the covers for a while so it will do a bit. Maybe 180 might have been a good score on that pitch in the last game and we have to assess today. One change, (Matthew) Fisher is in for (Blair) Tickner.”
The Indian playing XI comprises Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (w), Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, and Arshdeep Singh.
New Zealand’s playing XI includes Will Young, Tim Seifert, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (w), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner (c), Nathan Smith, Kyle Jamieson, Jacob Duffy, and Matthew Fisher.
