In the 2nd ODI match New Zealand vs India the game between two teams has started. But the game is stopped now due to rain. Maybe this game will resume when the rain stops. India batted first and scored 22 runs in 4.5 overs but no wicket has been lost so far. India is good. The batting was going to run, but due to the rain, the game is not going on anymore.
In the last New Zealand vs India first ODI, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl. In today's match too, they won the toss and decided to bowl. In this situation, India has no choice but to look at two issues. One is to increase the total score and the other is to make their bowling action stronger than before. Only then it is possible to defeat New Zealand. But if the rain does not cause any major hindrance.
Besides the rain, it has also started losing over as well. Rain is so disheartening after seeing Indian opener make a nice start. The bowling department just needs to work a lot harder, and the batting needs to click as usual. There has been a change in captain and coach, but there has not been a change in tactics. I am also displeased with how the Indian selectors are acting. In ODIs, they clearly need to step up with quality selection and put an end to the rest of the criticism.
It would be great if the rain wouldn't spoil the game. This series has no point if the match is abandoned!
edit- match live and India loses captain Shikhar Dhawan.
