a result of clarity in the IPL: Ajinkya RahaneBack-to-back commanding batting performances from India have propelled them to a dominant 2-0 lead in the series. Abhishek Sharma, who starred with an impressive 84 in the previous game, was dismissed for a duck tonight, but it had little bearing on the result. Despite the early setbacks, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav played outstanding knocks to take complete control of the chase, while Shivam Dube looked fluent and assured during his time at the crease. India have now sealed one emphatic win batting first and followed it up with a comfortable victory while chasing, emphasising the quality of this side. New Zealand are up against it and will need a strong response to remain competitive, making their approach in the remaining three T20Is an intriguing watch. For now, this is Nikhil signing off, on behalf of Akshay and Praveen. Good night!
