In the form of the second ODI, the second last match of India’s tour of New Zealand 2022 will be played in Hamilton on Sunday. While a victory will aid the hosts to gain an unassailable 2-0 lead in a three-match series, an Indian victory will prevent the third ODI from becoming a dead-rubber.

With only a one-day gap between two matches in different cities, there could be a possibility of both the teams making a change or two to their respective Playing XIs. Some fast bowlers, in particular, could be rotated to avoid exhaustion of playing an ODI right after the travel day.
The players who had warmed the bench during the first ODI in Auckland were James Neesham, Michael Bracewell, Deepak Hooda, Deepak Chahar and Kuldeep Yadav.
