New Zealand vs England 2nd ODI Highlights 2025: Black Caps Seal Series with Dominant Win at Seddon Park
Date: Wednesday, October 29, 2025 | Venue: Seddon Park, Hamilton1
Series Status: New Zealand lead 2-02
New Zealand secured a convincing five-wicket victory over England in the second ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.3 A clinical bowling performance followed by composed batting ensured the Black Caps chased down the modest target with ease.4
Innings 1: New Zealand’s Bowlers Dismantle England
After New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and elected to bowl, the home side’s attack proved relentless.5 England’s batting unit struggled to build momentum and was ultimately bowled out for a disappointing 175 runs in just 36 overs.6
The star with the ball was late-replacement seamer Blair Tickner, who shone with a career-best haul of four wickets (4/34), breaking the back of the English middle and lower order.7 Nathan Smith also impressed, chipping in with two wickets.8
For England, only a few batsmen showed real resistance:
Jamie Overton: Top-scored with a valuable 42 runs.9
Harry Brook: Contributed 34 before falling to a sharp catch off Santner’s bowling.10
Joe Root: Added 25 runs.11
Innings 2: Ravindra and Mitchell Steer the Chase
Chasing 176, New Zealand were briefly tested by the returning pace of Jofra Archer (3/23).12 However, the composure of the Black Caps’ middle order ensured a comfortable finish. New Zealand reached the target in 33.1 overs, losing five wickets.13
The run chase was anchored by two key half-centuries:
Rachin Ravindra: Struck a well-compiled 54 runs, battling through a tricky initial phase.14
Daryl Mitchell: Once again the finisher, guiding the team home with an unbeaten 56 not out.15 Captain Mitchell Santner added a brisk 34 not out to partner Mitchell to the win.16
England’s Jofra Archer was the standout bowler, taking three wickets, but the total was simply too low for the visitors to defend.17
