Auckland: New Zealand opener Martin Guptill on Friday said his team will look to pump up the aggression against Indian spinners during the second ODI here on Saturday in pursuit of an early series win against the fancied visitors.
The Black Caps chased down their highest- ever total in ODI cricket at Seddon Park on way to their four- wicket win in the first ODI for a 1- 0 lead in the three- match series.
Guptill said the key to New Zealandu2019s victory was playing well against the spinners.
Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja were taken to the cleaners in Hamilton by Kiwi batsmen and leaked 148 runs in all.
u201c Itu2019s completely different conditions, isnu2019t it? You have to be a little bit more attacking here I guess and have the confidence that the ball will probably will not spin past your edge as much. You know the odd one might as it did the other night,u201d he said.
u201c I thought the way we handled the Indian spinners in Hamilton was some of the best we have done it in a long time.
So we can take confidence from that going forward in the series.u201d Martin Guptill during a training session in Auckland yesterday. PIC/ AFP PTI Guptill wants NZ to continue attacking spinners
