India enter the 2nd ODI with confidence after pulling off a composed chase in the opening match. New Zealand put up a competitive 300 for 8, but India held their nerve despite losing key wickets during the chase.

India and New Zealand are taking on each other in the final series before the T20 World Cup 2026.

In late 2024, New Zealand became the first team to whitewash India on their own turf in a three-match Test series.
