“Was bowling to my strengths”: Gurnoor Brar on exploiting New Zealand conditions in second ODI

What's behind this

India edged New Zealand by four runs in the rain‑hit second ODI in Wellington, taking a 2‑0 series lead. New Zealand were bowled out for 134, with India’s pace attack, highlighted by Gurnoor Brar’s four‑wicket haul, restricting the total. In the chase, India slipped to 113/7 in 26 overs but Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul steadied the innings before rain halted play, leaving them needing 22 runs from 66 balls. The match was decided by the Duckworth‑Lewis method after multiple rain delays, and Brar was named Player of the Match for exploiting the extra bounce and pace.
