India will head into the second ODI with confidence after taking a 1-0 lead in the series with a five-wicket DLS victory in Auckland. Shubman Gill will continue to lead the side, with the main selection question surrounding India’s pace attack. Mohammed Siraj has rejoined the squad after completing his India A commitments and is likely to come into the playing XI, potentially replacing Auqib Nabi. Arshdeep Singh and Anshul Kamboj, who impressed in the opening match, are also expected to feature. Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar Reddy has left the squad to join India’s Test preparations, which could lead to a change in the team’s combination.
New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, will be looking to make a strong comeback after their batting unit struggled against India’s bowlers in the series opener. However, the hosts have suffered another setback, with Devon Conway ruled out of the remaining ODIs after sustaining a concussion during practice. His absence leaves a significant gap in the top order, while Nick Kelly has been added to the squad as his replacement. The Black Caps will need their experienced batters to step up against India’s bowling attack if they are to level the series in Wellington.
