New Zealand have cruised to a 7-wicket victory in the IND vs NZ 2nd ODI, in Rajkot. Daryl Mitchell's century and Will Young's 87 led the charge, as the series is now level 1-1.

New Zealand have won the toss and have opted to field
India heads into this contest with high confidence after a successful chase of 301 in the first match. The headlines from Vadodara were dominated by Virat Kohli, who not only became the fastest to 28,000 international runs but also played a match-winning 93.
