ICC Women’s World Cup, India Women vs New Zealand Women, Live Cricket Score, Live Updates: Skipper Sohpie Devine Departs, India On Top
ICC Women’s World Cup, India Women vs New Zealand Women, Live Cricket Score, Live Updates: Sophie Devine was the second wicket to fall as Pooja Vastrakar contributed yet again in an early dismissal. Vastrakar’d direct hit helped India get an early breakthrough as she found Suzie Bates short of the crease while attempting a run. India captain Mithali Raj won the toss and elected to bowl against Sophie Devine-led New Zealand in Match 8 of the ongoing Women’s World Cup at the Seddon Park, Hamilton. Recently, the Mithali Raj-led side faced New Zealand in a bilateral ODI series with the White Ferns coming out on top with a 4-1 win. India will be hoping to prevent a repeat of that display and put in a superior performance from all departments. India defeated Pakistan in their opener, winning by 107 runs. Pooja Vastrakar top-scored with a knock of 67 runs off 59 balls and Rajeshwari Gayakwad took four wickets off 10 overs. New Zealand defeated Bangladesh in their previous game, winning by nine wickets. Suzie Bates was in brilliant form with an unbeaten knock of 79 runs off 68 balls. Meanwhile, Amy Satterthwaite took three wickets. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Sophie Devine, New Zealand captain at the toss: “We would have batted first anyway. We did play India well in the recent series, we were able to put together complete performances and that’s something we’ve been speaking about for a while. It’s now about replicating it today. Same team for us.”
Mithali Raj, India captain at the toss: “We’ll have a bowl. Looks a good wicket and later on, there could be dew which will make batting easier. Also we depend a lot on spinners, so better to bowl first. One change – Yastika replaces Shafali at the top.”
