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. So can the visitors restore parity? India and New Zealand put on a show in Hyderabad in the opening ODI of the series where the visitors staged a dramatic comeback to almost pull off a heist. As much as it's hard to replicate it in the very next game Raipur would absolutely wish for something closer to that as they brace themselves to host their first-ever international match. Playing host to an epic game would help them in their bid to secure more international matches in the future going ahead which could turn out to be a spectacle given the stadium can accommodate over 60000 people. While another trophy is now within their grasp India's major focus will continue to be on building the ideal side for the World Cup. In the absence of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer the team management would hope the likes of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav get more time out in the middle. As things stand these two appear to be the backup for the top five. Unless they grab their opportunities that scenario might change by the time the World Cup gets closer. Not often do batters follow up a double-century with another big knock. Can Shubman Gill break that trend? You wouldn't count that against him given his last three scores prior to the double ton are 116 21 and 70. While the batting lineup does look extremely strong at the moment India's focus will be on their bowlers. A few days ago they allowed Dasun Shanaka to score big while rallying alongside the tail. And in Hyderabad they were again on top at one stage but couldn't get that decisive wicket for a long time which would have put them in the driver's seat. Team News India: Rajat Patidar might have to wait as the hosts will look to stick to the same combination. Shardul Thakur gives India a handy batting option at No.8 so Umran Malik won't find it easy to force his way back in. Team News New Zealand: The visitors might stick with the same XI as well. At the most a change might be in store in the bowling department. What to expect: No rain is expected during the game with moderate temperatures set to welcome both sides. The surface will carry a bit of mystery given the venue hasn't hosted international cricket yet. Audio Content Disclaimer For This Content This is self-created content and not copied content.
