The Indian cricket team is pumped up to finish the three-match series against New Zealand in the second match itself. India have a 1-0 lead courtesy of their win in the first ODI at the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) Stadium in Kotamby, Vadodara.
Shubman Gill and his men are now trying to secure another win at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium in Rajkot on January 14 (Wednesday) and take an unassailable 2-0 lead. However, it was New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell who won the toss and decided to bowl first in Vadodara.
Changes in India’s playing 11: Nitish Reddy replaces Sundar
Since Washington Sundar is injured, the Indian team had to fill his place. Though Ayush Badoni was named as his replacement as the Delhi all-rounder received his maiden call-up, he could not find a place in India’s playing 11.
India have gone with Nitish Kumar Reddy. Since he bowls pace, and now that the team have lost the toss and have to bowl later, he will be a much better option. Reddy has 21 List-A wickets to his name at a strike rate of 43, which is great in a 50-over game.
New Zealand make one change
The New Zealand team played their best possible 11 that they had and did pretty well with the ball. Now that they are bowling first, they have brought in Jayden Lennox in place of Adithya Ashok.
