India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI 2026: Match Preview and Live Streaming

 India and New Zealand are ready for the second ODI of the five-match series on Saturday, November 7, at Hnry Stadium in Wellington. India secured a five-wicket victory in the rain-affected opening match at Eden Park and currently lead the series 1–0. The Indian team will aim to extend its advantage, while New Zealand will be determined to bounce back and level the series.

The first ODI witnessed an impressive performance from India's bowling attack. Rain interrupted the start, causing a delay of around 10 minutes before the match began. After India won the toss and elected to bowl, New Zealand's batting lineup struggled against the Indian pacers. Tim Seifert scored 38 runs, while Glenn Phillips contributed 30. However, Blair Tickner provided late excitement with 34 runs, and a valuable 39-run final-wicket partnership helped New Zealand reach 185 all out. Anshul Kamboj claimed two wickets with an excellent economy rate of 2.20, while Arshdeep Singh picked up four wickets and Gurnoor Brar claimed three.

India's chase also began dramatically, with Rohit Sharma dismissed for a duck in the opening over by Kyle Jamieson. However, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli steadied the innings with an outstanding 113-run partnership. Gill scored 37 runs, while Kohli played a brilliant innings of 74 runs. Rain interrupted play again, reducing the match to 32 overs and setting India a revised target of 143 runs. India comfortably reached the target, although New Zealand's Jacob Duffy managed to take three wickets.

The second ODI will be played at Hnry Stadium, Wellington, a venue where fast bowlers can find assistance from the new ball. The surface generally offers bounce and seam movement, particularly during the initial overs. As the match progresses, batting conditions can become more favourable. Wellington's windy conditions may also influence swing bowling and make shot selection challenging. Both teams will need to assess the conditions carefully, especially if clouds and rain affect the game.
