India is going to face New Zealand in the 2nd ODI of the series at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur on 21st January 2023. The first match of the series was a thriller in which India won by 12 runs due to the blistering knock of 208 runs by Shubman Gill. For Kiwis, Michael Bracewell played a blinder and almost got them home before a yorker from Shardul Thakur settled the deal for India in the last over of the match. India leads the series 1-0, and here we have listed everything you need to know about the pitch report, average score, highest total and more at the Raipur Stadium, which is going to be used for the 2nd ODI between India and New Zealand.
IND vs NZ 2nd ODI Pitch Report
Raipur Stadium is generally a ground that favours both the batters and bowlers. The pitch prepared for the 2nd ODI between India and New Zealand will offer enough spin and movement to the pace bowlers to turn the match into an equal competition between bat and ball. More than 300 runs will be a very good score at this stadium. However, in modern-day cricket, no target is safe, and thus the team which wins the toss should bowl first and assess the conditions accordingly to gain the upper hand in the match.
