The second ODI between India and New Zealand is being played in Raipur, in which the Kiwi team’s batsmen saw a poor performance. In a way, the batsmen of the New Zealand team did the work of cutting the nose, as half of the New Zealand team returned to the pavilion so cheaply, which had never happened before in the history of the Kiwi team.

In fact, 5 batsmen of the New Zealand team got piled on just 15 runs. This is the first time in the history of New Zealand cricket team’s One Day International cricket, when 5 players have returned to the pavilion so cheaply. Even the bowlers of the Indian team have never run five batsmen of any team so cheaply, but this has happened in 2023.

India’s fast bowler Mohammed Shami got two wickets, while Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Hardik Pandya got one success each. The New Zealand team had lost their 5 wickets in 10.3 overs. The first wicket fell on the fifth ball of the very first over, when Mohammed Shami clean bowled Finn Allen for a duck.
