Guptill said the key to New Zealand's victory was playing well against the spinners. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja were taken to the cleaners in Hamilton by Kiwi batsmen and leaked 148 runs in all.

07:03 hrs IST: Virat Kohli has won the toss and elected to chase.

06:50 hrs IST: Good morning everyone and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of the 2nd ODI between New Zealand (NZ) and India (IND) at Eden Park. Both teams will be aiming for glory, but can India level the ODI series?

New Zealand chased down their highest-ever total in ODI cricket in the 1st ODI, after winning the toss. Taylor was simply outstanding and brought his experience to play alongside stand-in skipper and keeper Tom Latham, who gave the initial impetus in a demanding run chase.

Virat Kohli has a huge task ahead with the bowling and fielding frailties being magnified, after some brilliant displays by the opposition batsmen. Also, India's fielding coach R Sridhar feels that the lack of practice is the reason for poor displays.

"We keep reminding the players about attention to basic detail...In a T20 game, each fielder has to be his own captain. He need not wait for the captain to move him or the bowler to move him in a certain direction or to a certain position," he said.

"We try and tell them to think ahead of the game, you as a fielder captain yourself, see which way the breeze is, which way the batsman's tendencies to hit are, what's the bowler's plan and position accordingly.

"So we empower the fielders so that they can become their own captain and they can take decisions on their own because the captain has got too much on his plate at certain times. That's what we speak about," he added.

India also need to be less dependent on Jasprit Bumrah. Kohli has the tendency to overuse him in matches against tougher oppositions. Shardul Thakur or Navdeep Saini could replace Mohammed Shami. Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal is expected to feature after missing out previously.

Changes are not expected in India's batting lineup, with the opening pair of Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal gelling well. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul played some beautiful knocks in Hamilton.

"It's just a loss and we have faced that before as well in our life. It's not that we are facing it for the first time. So everybody is in their normal zone and it's not something that hasn't happened before. We've got that confidence in our team and in ourselves that we are going to bounce back strong," said Shreyas Iyer, who scored a century in the first ODI.

New Zealand will be aiming to follow the same strategy in the 2nd ODI. Latham will be hoping Henry Nicholls and Martin Guptill give the Black Caps a good start. Meanwhile, Ross Taylor will probably continue on with his rampaging form.

Auckland pacer, the six-foot-eight tall Kyle Jamieson will make his debut on home ground on Saturday, replacing Ish Sodhi. Expect a tall-scoring contest in a ground with short coundaries.
