No New Zealand batsman could even reach a half-century with Henry Nicholls being the top-scorer with 42. New Zealand had claimed a six-wicket victory in the 1st ODI in Mumbai on October 22. The third and final deciding game will be played in Kanpur on Sunday. Follow full cricket score of India vs New Zealand, 2nd ODI in Pune here.
