To the excitement of the cricket world, it will be the India side facing off against New Zealand in the 2nd ODI on Wednesday at Hamilton.

If India can perform effectively with its short ball, the team will surely be victorious in the respective One Day International at hand. However, if MS Dhoni and his squad falter much like they did in the first ODI, then they'll undoubtedly have a difficult time prevailing against New Zealand.

In the previous set of matches, the South Africans were able to expose the Indian batting, as the team clearly needs to up their game. New Zealand will be gunning to do the same.
