IND vs NZ Highlights: India vs NewZealand 2nd ODI Highlights: India have missed an opportunity to win the ODI series in NewZealand. With 2nd ODI called off due to heavy rain, India go to Christchurch 0-1 down in the series. At best, India can level the series. But the wait to win an ODI series continues.

But before the 2nd ODI was called off, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav lit up the cloudy sky of Hamilton. Gill remained unbeaten on 45 while SKY smashed unbeaten 34 off 25.

However, despite the washout, NewZealand jump to 3rd spot in the ICC ODI Super League. NZ are equal on 125 points with England. India sit comfortably at the top with 134 points. However, by the virtue of being the hosts, India have already qualified for World Cup 2023.
