It was a disappointing batting performance from New Zealand as India have bundled them out for just 108 in the second ODI in Raipur on Saturday. The hosts were brilliant with their line and length and got decent help from the pitch too.

However, some Kiwi batters will be a bit guilty of getting too ahead of themselves and playing a few questionable shots. They were already on the backfoot at 15/5 and couldn't really recover despite some resistance from the lower order.

Fans on Twitter trolled the Kiwis for their meek surrender with the bat. Here are some of the reactions:

Indian bowlers suffocated New Zealand with relentless discipline

Mohammed Shami started the innings in incredible fashion for the hosts, dismissing the dangerous Finn Allen for a duck. Mohammed Siraj continued his merry run from the other end, edging out the technically strong Henry Nicholls.

Shami and Hardik Pandya then showed great presence of mind with incredible catches from their own bowling to push the Kiwis further into trouble. Skipper Tom Latham's wicket got the Kiwis reeling at 15/5 and it really seemed as if they would succumb to their lowest ODI total.

Although the likes of Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, and Mitchell Santner showed some resistance, 108 is all that the visitors could muster. India will be ecstatic with their performance and will look to complete the chase in a canter and wrap up the series.

It will need something incredibly miraculous for New Zealand to level the series.

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan(WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj

New Zealand (Playing XI): Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (C) (WK), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Henry Shipley, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner
