India will enter the field on Saturday with the aim of securing yet another limited-overs series at home. The Men in Blue registered a 12-run win in the 1st ODI against New Zealand in Hyderabad. Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj were the stars for India in the game as the hosts took a 1-0 lead. The 2nd ODI will be played in Raipur on January 21. 

The biggest positive for Team India has been their batting. Youngster Shubman Gill is enjoying a dream run in ODIs. The 23-year-old scored a stunning double-century in 1st ODI to help India post a mammoth total of 349. 

While other bowlers went for plenty against New Zealand in the first ODI, Mohammed Siraj was once again the savior for Team India as he picked 4 wickets to help Indian win. Team India was struggling to break the threatening partnership between Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner when Siraj stood up and gave India the much-needed breakthrough.

While we are expecting another high-scoring thriller in the 2nd ODI, will the weather permit a full 100-over game?
