India took a 2–0 lead in the five-match series after rain ended the Wellington match, leaving the visitors ahead under the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method.
India beat New Zealand by four runs under the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method in the second one-day international (ODI) in Wellington on 7 November 2026. India had also won the rain-hit opener in Auckland on Wednesday by five wickets after bowling New Zealand out for 185.
New Zealand were bowled out for 134 in 41 overs. India reached 113–7 after 26 overs when rain ended play, putting the visitors four runs ahead of the par score of 109. Wet conditions had already reduced the match to a maximum of 47 overs per side.
The Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method adjusts the score needed in a rain-interrupted match to account for the overs available and wickets lost.
Gurnoor Brar took an ODI career-best 4–30, meaning four wickets for 30 runs. Auqib Nabi took his first two international wickets, dismissing openers Will Young and Tim Seifert, and finished with 2–31. Daryl Mitchell scored 55 for New Zealand and captain Mitchell Santner made 31. No other New Zealand batter scored more than 11.
Brar, a right-arm fast bowler who has played for Punjab since 2022, made his international debut against Afghanistan on 13 June 2026. Nabi, a right-arm medium bowler, made his ODI debut against West Indies on 30 September later that year after playing domestic cricket for Jammu & Kashmir, for whom he made his List A debut on 23 September 2018.
New Zealand bowlers Jacob Duffy and Kyle Jamieson each took 3–35. Duffy dismissed India captain Shubman Gill for a golden duck and Virat Kohli for seven. Jamieson dismissed India’s top scorer, Shreyas Iyer, for 30, leaving the visitors at 86–5. KL Rahul was unbeaten on 26 and Nabi on one when play ended.
The third ODI is scheduled for Tuesday in Hamilton. An India win would secure the series.
