Indian spinners were out-bowled on home turf once again and KL Rahul’s unbeaten ton was eclipsed by Daryl Mitchell’s splendid 131 not out as New Zealand levelled the three-match series 1-1 with a seven-wicket win in the second ODI here on Wednesday.

New Zealand not only adapted, but also executed better than India on a sluggish wicket here at the Niranjan Shah Stadium to keep the hosts to 284-7 despite Rahul’s 91-ball 112 not out (9 fours, one six), and overhauled the target in 47.3 overs to end at 286-3.
