The new international venue Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium (Raipur) will host the second game of the three-match ODI series of India vs New Zealand (IND vs NZ).
This series opened with a surprising thriller as the hosts won the Hyderabad ODI by 12 runs. After winning the toss, the home team opener Shubman Gill’s incredible double century (208) helped India to manage the first innings total of 349/8 in 50 overs.
Though New Zealand were once deeply struggling on 131/6, Michael Bracewell’s incredible ODI ton (140) and Mitchell Santner’s top support (57) guided the visitors to set a strong fightback. At the end of the game, the Blackcaps were all out on 337 runs in 49.2 overs.
While the hosts are leading this series by 1-0, New Zealand can’t afford another defeat, and India need one more winning result to settle this ODI series.
