India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI: Rajkot Pitch, Weather, and Series Stakes

India aims to clinch the three-match ODI series against New Zealand in Rajkot after a four-wicket victory in the first match. The Niranjan Shah Stadium pitch is known for favoring batsmen and has historically seen high scores, with teams batting first winning all four ODIs played there. Conditions are expected to be clear and pleasant, though potential dew in the evening might affect the fielding side. India faces a squad change with Washington Sundar ruled out due to injury, while New Zealand seeks to level the series.
