On Saturday, New Zealand will lock horns with hosts India in the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series. This game holds significant importance for the Kiwis, as a loss here will hand them a series defeat.
Although India won the first game, they must be disappointed with how they bowled in the latter half of the New Zealand innings.
Despite reducing the visitors to 131 for six, the Men in Blue allowed Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell to stitch a mammoth 162-run stand for the seventh wicket.
As expected, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav were clinical, but the other Indian bowlers, especially Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya, didn't live up to the expectations.
On the batting front, Virat Kohli must be raring to make his mark in the series, while Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav should focus on converting their starts into match-winning knocks.
On the other hand, Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell were the only positives for New Zealand in the first game. While the Kiwi bowling unit looked in absolute shambles, their batters, barring Finn Allen, succumbed to the scoreboard pressure.
So, moving on to this game, the visitors must regroup and work on their grey areas to restore parity in the series.
With the series at stake, the likes of Devon Conway, Tom Latham and Lockie Ferguson must take ownership and inspire the younger lots to come up with influential returns in this face-off.
