India's men's cricket team edged New Zealand by four runs under the Duckworth‑Lewis method, taking a 2‑0 lead in the three‑match series.
In the latest One Day International, the Indian men's side secured a slender four‑run win over New Zealand after the Duckworth‑Lewis (D/L) method was applied to adjust the target.
The revised target left New Zealand short by just four runs, handing India a 2‑0 advantage in the three‑match bilateral series. The win came after a tightly contested chase that saw both teams bat aggressively before rain interruptions forced the D/L calculation.
With the series now in India's favour, the third and final ODI will decide whether the visitors can level the contest or India will complete a clean sweep. Team officials from both sides praised the competitive spirit displayed despite the weather‑related challenges.
