Brar Takes Four as New Zealand Crash to 132 for 9 in Wellington

Gurnoor Brar took four wickets as New Zealand crashed to 132 for 9 in the second ODI against India at Hnry Stadium in Wellington.

Brar finished with 4 for 30 from his 10 overs, removing Nathan Smith for 3 off the last ball of the 40th over to leave the hosts nine down with seven overs still to play in the rain-shortened 47-over match.

Daryl Mitchell top-scored with 55 before Axar Patel removed him, while captain Mitchell Santner made 31 before Brar had him caught behind by KL Rahul, and Kyle Jamieson fell for 7 to Axar as New Zealand lost their last four wickets for 20 runs.

India won the toss and chose to bowl first, and lead the five-match series 1-0 after winning the rain-hit opener in Auckland.
