A Nehra and Yuvraj Singh took three wickets each as New Zealand team returned to pavilion for just 155 runs on the board in the second ODI match of the tri-series at Colombo on Friday.

Kiwi skipper D Vettori won the toss and elected to bat first in must-win encounter. Kiwi batting order collapsed once again in the series and they lost wickets at regular intervals.

A Nehra got the wicket of Kiwi opener J Ryder (0) in very first over. B McCullum (3) was also not able to resist on the crease and he became second victim of Nehra. D Vettori was top scorer for New Zealand. Vettori scored 25 runs in 36 balls.

R Singh and Ishant Sharma also bowled brilliantly and both took two wickets each. Indian team will qualify for the final if they win this match as New Zealand had lost first match against Sri Lanka. The final match will be played on 14th September.
