New Zealand demonstrated that they are a different beast in their own backyard. Kane Williamson and Tom Latham are the foundation of the ODI team, and they once again underlined their worth in the first ODI. The side’s bowling appears to be established as well, and they would like to wrap out the series here.
India lost the first ODI, and this will be a make-or-break game for them. The team’s batsmen performed admirably in the first match, but they must improve their S/R because high-scoring games are typical in New Zealand. Deepak Chahar’s swing bowling may earn him a spot in this match.
Seddon Park Hamilton pitch report
Another track in New Zealand that is great for batting is Seddon Park in Hamilton. Batters will enjoy spending time in the middle of the park. Because it is a standard cricket stadium like Auckland’s Eden Park, this ground’s dimensions aren’t too bad.
The batters can rely on the batting track’s bounce to play their shots because it is beautiful and has a good amount of bounce. The boundaries are also not very big, but the ground’s outfield is very quick, so good timing by batters will pay off big. Particularly, batters will be drawn to the square boundaries.
New Zealand defeated Netherlands in the previous one-day international earlier this year, winning by 115 runs after scoring 333 runs in the first innings. It is surprising that the average score in the first inning here is 248 runs because the track is much better than that.
The pacers can take advantage of the breeze in the first few overs because this is open ground. Tim Southee, Matt Henry, and Trent Boult are the top three wicket-takers at this stadium, and two of them will play in this game. The two skippers will hope to pursue after winning the throw.
