New Zealand, meanwhile, need a much-improved performance. The hosts, led by Mitchell Santner, have also suffered another setback, with Devon Conway ruled out of the series due to concussion. Notably, New Zealand lost the preceding five-match T20I series against India 2-3.
India's fast bowlers shared the wickets, with Arshdeep Singh claiming four scalps. Gurnoor Brar took three wickets, while Anshul Kamboj returned figures of 2/22 in his 10 overs to win the Player of the Match award.
Jacob Duffy finished with three wickets for 49 runs, but New Zealand failed to defend their total. India lost four wickets for 22 runs towards the end of the chase but reached the revised target of 143 with nearly 10 overs to spare.

IND vs NZ Weather Forecast & Rain Threat at Sky Stadium
Rain could once again disrupt proceedings during the second ODI in Wellington. Persistent showers in the city have already affected the teams' preparations, with New Zealand moving their practice session indoors to Wellington College. India, meanwhile, cancelled their outdoor training session.
The first ODI in Auckland was interrupted by two spells of rain, resulting in India's target being reduced from 186 in 50 overs to 143 in 32 overs. The visitors eventually completed the chase comfortably.
Conway missed the first ODI in Auckland, and the selectors have called up left-handed batter Nick Kelly as his replacement. He will miss the remaining four matches of the one-day series.
India have not reported any fresh injury concerns following their victory in Auckland. However, Aqib Nabi could make way for Mohammed Siraj after going wicketless in the first ODI.
IND vs NZ Predicted Playing 11 Today
Tim Seifert, Will Young, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner (c), Nathan Smith, Kyle Jamieson, Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry.
Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Mohammed Siraj, Gurnoor Brar, Arshdeep Singh.
Shubman Gill relies on his timing, placement, and ability to play shots on both sides of the wicket. Jamieson, meanwhile, uses his height to generate extra bounce and can trouble batters with deliveries outside the off stump.
Daryl Mitchell is comfortable against pace and likes to play straight and through the leg side. Arshdeep Singh will look to challenge him with his left-arm angle, swing, and variations.
Virat Kohli uses his footwork to disrupt the bowler's length. Mitchell Santner will rely on his accuracy, changes in pace, and subtle variations to restrict the Indian batter.
