In this victory, Virat Kohli played an excellent inning of 74 runs and made an important contribution in giving the team a 1-0 lead.

What will be the weather pattern in India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI?

Rain can become a villain in the second ODI to be held in Wellington. According to the Meteorological Department, there is a 60% chance of rain during the day and 55% at night. Rain has been predicted at the time of the start of the match, due to which even a short match seems difficult.

How will the Henry Stadium pitch be?

The Wellington pitch initially helps the fast bowlers, especially those bowlers who bowl on the right line and length. However, as the match progresses, batting becomes easier as the pitch provides good and uniform bounce. Due to the small boundary here, it is a little easier for the batsmen to hit big shots.

Dew will play an important role

Due to it being a day-night match, dew can also prove to be a big factor. Due to dew falling in the evening, bowlers face difficulty in getting grip on the ball, due to which the effect of spinners gets reduced and the team batting later gets a direct advantage.
