India will be expecting more runs from the middle order and discipline in the death overs as they look for a series sealing win against New Zealand in the second ODI here on Saturday.

The bowling department is in focus after the hiding the bowlers got from Michael Bracewell, who put the Indian attack to sword on Wednesday.
