NZ vs IND Dream11 Team: Top 5 Fantasy Picks for New Zealand vs India 2nd ODI

NZ vs IND Dream11 Team: During the opening ODI game between New Zealand and India, both skipper Kane Williamson and Tom Latham put up a phenomenal unbeaten partnership of 221 runs to help the Kiwis pick up a brilliant 7-wicket victory.

The visitors now desperately need to win the second ODI on 27 November, 2022 scheduled to be contested in Hamilton in order to be alive during this three-match ODI series.
