India win rain-hit second ODI by 4 runs; 2-0 series lead

India beat New Zealand by four runs (DLS method) in the rain-affected second one-day international in Wellington on Saturday to take a 2-0 lead in the series.

With the match reduced to 47 overs a side in damp conditions, New Zealand were all out for 134 in 41 overs; Daryl Mitchell scored 55. India's fast bowlers made good use of helpful conditions for the second match running; Gurnoor Brar recorded fine figures of 4-30.

India's chase ran into trouble: Jacob Duffy (3-35) removed captain Shubman Gill off the first ball and Virat Kohli for 7, while Kyle Jamieson (3-35) dismissed top-scorer Shreyas Iyer (30).

When rain stopped play, India were 113-7 in 26 overs - four runs ahead of the DLS par score of 109, with KL Rahul on 26 at the crease. The third match of the series is on Tuesday in Hamilton.
