WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) --- India captain Shubman Gill won a delayed toss
and chose to bowl Saturday in the second one-day cricket international against
New Zealand, a match reduced by rain to 47 overs per side.
A wet outfield caused the toss to be delayed by an hour and both captains
indicated they would bowl first in humid conditions on a pitch which has been
covered for the last two days.
"No surprises there," Gill said.
Both team are unchanged from the first match in Auckland which India won
comfortably by five wickets with 56 balls remaining.
That match which was also rain-affected was highlighted by an innings of 74 by
Virat Kohli. Kohli celebrated his 38th birthday in Wellington on Thursday.
India won the previous five-match Twenty20 series 3-2.
Rain fell in the morning Saturday, dampening the outfield. Heavier rain is
forecast along with possible thunderstorms.
