Yet another all-round display guided India to a thumping 90-run victory over New Zealand in the second contest of the five-match ODI rubber at the Bay Oval here on Saturday to go 2-0 up the series.
After putting a challenging 324/4 on board, the visitors bowled out the Kiwis on 234, thanks to another exceptional bowling effort by chinaman Kuldeep Yadav (4/45).
It has previously been announced that skipper Virat Kohli would be rested for the fourth and fifth matches, with Rohit Sharma stepping in for the third tie.
Brief score: India 324/4 (Rohit Sharma 87, Shikhar Dhawan 66; Trent Boult 2/61) beat New Zealand 234 all out (Doug Bracewell 57, Tom Latham 34; Kuldeep Yadav 4/45) by 90 runs.
