The second ODI between India and New Zealand at Seddon Park here on Sunday has been reduced to 29 overs a side due to lengthy rain interruption. At the time when rain came in the way, India were 22/0 in 4.5 overs after being asked to bat first by New Zealand.


The rain, which has been predicted to make persistent appearances throughout the match, made sure that the ground staff were made to work hard as covers came off and then came back as the rain continued to oscillate between heavy and light.


India were 22/0 in 4.5 overs against New Zealand before rain arrived. Shubman Gill was batting on 19, driving elegantly past mid-on twice and cutting fiercely through cover. Giving him company was skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who was unbeaten on two.
