Indian bowlers showcased exceptional discipline, bundling out New Zealand for 134 in the second ODI in Wellington. Opting to bowl first after a rain delay, skipper Shubman Gill's decision proved fruitful as the Indian attack exploited the overcast conditions effectively.
Gurnoor Brar spearheaded the bowling effort with a career-best 4/30, dismantling New Zealand's lineup. Auqib Nabi and Anshul Kamboj provided crucial support with two wickets each. Daryl Mitchell was the sole significant contributor for the hosts, scoring 55 runs, but he found little assistance.
Despite Mitchell's efforts and a brief partnership with skipper Mitchell Santner, who scored 31, New Zealand's batting unit faltered. Brar's decisive spell broke the resistance, and the remaining wickets fell quickly, leaving New Zealand with a below-par total. India's bowlers maintained tight lines, restricting scoring opportunities throughout the innings.
