India vs New Zealand 2017, 2nd ODI: 5 things we learnt from the match 

#4 Tom Latham's sweeping tactic brought to an end

Tom Latham once again threatened to play a game-changing knock

The difference between India and New Zealand in the first ODI was how the Kiwi middle-order batsmen, Ross Taylor and Tom Latham, employed the sweep shot to negate India's wrist spinners. India brought Axar Patel into the eleven and Kedar Jadhav into the attack, two bowlers who dart the ball in quick, to cut out this very shot.

While Taylor perished to a Hardik Pandya bouncer after relentless pressure from Jadhav at one end, Latham stayed put for a while, threatening to take the game away from India. But Axar Patel darted one into his legs from around the wicket. Latham went for his favoured sweep shot, but missed this time around, to hear the death knell.
