India's last two home series – against West Indies and Australia - came from 0-1 down to take the series 2-1. 

India could again pull-off another series win against New Zealand as the 5-0 whitewash in T20Is will be fresh in the Virat Kohli-led side’s memory. 

While the clash is important to both sides, could rain interrupt play?

It will mostly remain cloudy throughout the 2nd ODI and rain could cause a mini stoppage in the game. However, there should not be any large bearing on the game.
