2nd ODI: Daryl Mitchell’s Superb 131 Not Out Takes NZ To Seven-wicket Win Over India
Niranjan Shah Stadium: Daryl Mitchell hit a superb unbeaten 131 off 117 balls to guide New Zealand to a series-levelling seven-wicket victory over India in the second ODI at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on Wednesday. India’s total of 284/7 was built around KL Rahul’s composed 112 not out, his eighth century in the format.
Chasing 285, the visitors were reduced to 46/2, but Mitchell and Will Young rebuilt with a commanding 162-run stand off 152 balls for the third wicket. The pair kept the required rate in check, rotating strike and punishing loose deliveries to blunt India’s attack on a pitch that eased out under lights after being two-paced.
Though Young fell for 87 off 98 balls, laced with seven boundaries, Mitchell pressed on to his eighth ODI century in a knock laced with 11 fours and two sixes, with his dismantling of Kuldeep Yadav being a treat to watch. He also found good support in Glenn Phillips, who remained unbeaten on 32 off 25 balls.
