Daryl Mitchell's Century Leads New Zealand to Seven-Wicket Win, ODI Series Tied 1-1

In the second ODI at Rajkot, New Zealand leveled the series 1-1 with a seven-wicket win over India, chasing 285 runs. Daryl Mitchell scored an unbeaten 131, supported by Will Young's 87, forming a 162-run partnership that subdued India's bowling, especially spin. Despite KL Rahul's unbeaten 112 for India, the hosts struggled to take wickets in the middle overs. Mitchell credited his success to rigorous preparation on subcontinent-like pitches in New Zealand. The series decider will be played in Indore.
