Four-star Gurnoor blows away New Zealand as hosts bowled out for 134

What's behind this

On Nov 7 in Wellington, India edged New Zealand by four runs in a rain‑hit second ODI decided by the Duckworth‑Lewis‑Stern method after persistent showers forced an abrupt end when the visitors were 113/7 in 26 overs. India survived a dramatic batting collapse, with KL Rahul’s innings described as saving the day, while fast bowler Gurnoor Brar claimed a four‑wicket haul of 4‑30 and was named Player of the Match, supported by Auqib Nabi’s 2‑31 in seven overs. The win gave India a 2‑0 lead in the five‑match series, with the third match scheduled in Hamilton on Tuesday.
