Rajkot is fully prepared for the second ODI between India and New Zealand. If Team India registers victory even today then the series will be in its name.

pitch report
The pitch of Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot is going to be suitable for the batsmen. Once again a high scoring match can be seen here.
