We would have batted first. Yesterday there was no dew. It might get a bit slower. I was feeling very confident when I was batting out there, very happy to always contribute. Hopefully it’s a big one today. They started off pretty well, how we came back was very important. The fast bowlers taking wickets in the middle overs is a bit rare in these conditions. Nitish comes in place of Washington.

We’re going to bowl first. It looks like a really good surface, and hopefully the dew comes into play later in the evening, which should make things a bit nicer for batting under lights. The last game was a tight one and I was proud of how the boys fought right till the end. We gave ourselves a chance with a couple of late wickets, and today we’re looking to keep taking wickets through the middle and build that pressure. We’ve got a lot of young players in this side, and playing in front of big crowds and all that noise is a great learning experience for them. It’s different conditions for us here, especially with 40,000 people backing the home side, but it’s a challenge we’re really excited about. We’ve made just the one change – Jaden Lennox comes in to make his debut.

New Zealand have won the toss and decided to bowl first.

Team India FINALLY addresses Ayush Badoni’s controversial ODI selection for NZ series, says, ‘If…’

If India opts for a fast-bowling all-rounder, Nitish Kumar Reddy is available. However, with three pacers – Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Harshit Rana – already in the squad, it seems unlikely Reddy will make the XI.

Badoni also has an advantage over Reddy as he can bat and bowl spin, giving India more flexibility.

Speaking during the press conference, Kotak said: “He has been playing, he has been performing, he has played some India A one-day matches and he has performed. Of course, it is the selectors who pick the team, but for any common man, when Washington is out, you cannot normally go with only five bowlers.

“For example, in the last game, if we had only five bowlers and Washington got injured in the fourth or fifth over, then who would have bowled those overs? So every team would like to have a sixth bowling option. Sometimes, if it is an all-rounder like Washington, then it’s an equally good bowler; sometimes it might be more of a batter who can bowl,” he said.

“If required, somebody should be able to bowl four or five overs, or even three or four overs, whatever is needed. He has scored a couple of fifties for India A and can bowl. He has performed well in the IPL and white-ball cricket, so good luck to him,” he added.

All-rounder Washington Sundar, who played in the first ODI, has been ruled out due to injury. He has been replaced by Ayush Badoni, a right-handed batsman from Delhi who plays for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.

Badoni has experience at the domestic level but is yet to make his debut for India. His inclusion opens up possibilities for India in the number five batting position.

The pitch at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot is known to be batting-friendly, offering good bounce and true carry. Historically, teams have posted high totals here, with the highest ODI score reaching 352. No team has been bowled out below 250 in ODIs at this ground.

Expect the pitch to favor the batters again, which could lead to another high-scoring and competitive match between India and New Zealand.

Unlike northern India, Rajkot is expected to have pleasant weather on match day. According to Accuweather, the city will see plenty of sunshine with a maximum of 27A°C and a minimum of 13A°C.

During the match start at 1:30 PM IST, temperatures are expected to hover around 25A°C and are unlikely to drop below 20A°C before the game ends. With such conditions, the dew factor is expected to be minimal, just like in Vadodara, so bowlers shouldn’t face major challenges under lights.
