IND vs NZ, 2nd T20I: Kane Williamson Wins Toss, Kiwis To Bat First At Auckland

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to in the 2nd T2OI at the Eden Park in Auckland

India will lock horns with New Zealand in the 2nd T2O international  of the 5-match at Eden Park in Auckland. The visitors took a 1-0 series lead after winning the opening match by 6-wickets  at the same venue. With a power-packed display with the willow from both the teams in the series opener, the sides would be looking for a better bowling performance. If India win the game, they will be a win away from clinching their maiden series in Kiwis soil. The Kiwis dented by the absence of their seasoned campaigners in Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson will look to step up their efforts with the ball New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and decided to bat first at Auckland. Both the teams are fielding an unchanged playing eleven from the last game. Virat Kohli: Same thing, happy days (On both teams getting to do what they wanted). We had a brilliant chase the other night and we wanted to field first.. We were talking in the dug-out that had me and KL batted through, we would have won with two overs to spare. I think, it's a gun wicket. We did well with the ball too in the last game. It suits better when we bowl first. We were happy with the performance, I don't think there was any jet lag. We are going in with the same team. We want to do better in the field. We can stop extra 10 runs. Kane Williamson: We are gonna have a bat. Obviously, it's an used surface and there won't be dew much. We wanna use the surface bat. It's important that we execute our plans and put up a strong performance. We are playing the same team. India Playing XI - India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul(w), Virat Kohli(c), Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Manish Pandey, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah New Zealand Playing XI -Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Kane Williamson(c), Colin de Grandhomme, Ross Taylor, Tim Seifert(w), Mitchell Santner, Blair Tickner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Hamish Bennett
