India vs New Zealand, 2nd T20I: As it happened: Rahul, Shreyas, bowlers propel India

India vs New Zealand, 2nd T20I: As it happened: Rahul, Shreyas, bowlers propel India to a seven-wicket win and 2-0 series lead

KL Raahul sparkled with an unbeaten 50

Auckland, January 26: On India's Republic Day, Virat Kohli and his men will be eager to dish out a befitting performance and take a 2-0 lead against New Zealand in the T20I series at the Eden Park on Sunday (January 26). India had won the first match at the same venue quite comfortably to take a 1-0 lead in the series. They did it with some style winning by 7 wickets.

India will bank on their top order to fire in this game as they had done a couple of days ago to keep the pressure on the Kiwis. However, they will hope that their bowlers, except Jasprit Bumrah, would come up with better execution and it is imperative on this ground with small boundaries.

Can Kiwis stop the Indians? They have done quite well with the bat in the first game, and will be glad to see an improved performance from their bowlers, who failed put any pressure on Indian batsmen after they were asked to chase a 200+ total.

Here's MyKhel Live Updates and stay tuned for match-related info.
