IND VS NZ 2nd ODI Dream11 Team, Preview: The first ODI between India and New Zealand ended in an expected way as India rolled over New Zealand and recorded a 4-wicket win. Virat Kohli was once again at his best in a chase and played a knock of 93 off 91. He would be disappointed for missing out on a century, but his knock put India into a strong position.
Apart from him, Indian captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer played a good hand. The bowlers did suffer a hammering as both Kiwi openers scored a fifty each. Daryl Mitchell scored his second fifty, along with two centuries in the last five innings. Kyle Jamieson had another impressive spell against India, and the tourists will be happy with their performance.
Now, these two sides will be up against each other in the second ODI. This contest will be live from Niranjan Shah Stadium at 1:30 PM IST on Wednesday. India have a chance to win the game and seal the series win, while New Zealand will be keen to level the series.

IND VS NZ: Players to Watch Out for?
India: Virat Kohli is in red-hot form and has now seven consecutive 50+ scores in List A cricket. The way he is performing, it won’t be a surprise if he scores a century in Rajkot.
New Zealand: Daryl Mitchell loves batting against India. His knock helped New Zealand to reach 300 runs in the first ODI. He now has two centuries and two half-centuries in the last five innings against India in ODIs.

IND VS NZ Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Team India have an incredible record at home in ODIs. They recently beat South Africa, which had almost all of their players. New Zealand are inexperienced in both units. Their total number of matches is less than the combined matches of Virat and Rohit. Only Kyle Jamieson has experience of a handful of games on Indian pitches.
Batting-wise, the Black Caps look more settled, but on these pitches, 300 is a par score. To challenge India, they need way more than that. On the other hand, India, with in-form Virat Kohli, become an unbeatable side. Their experience and the home conditions are major reasons that we think India will have another win on Wednesday.
