Welcome to Sportstar’s LIVE coverage of the 2022 ODI Women’s World Cup. This is Lavanya Lakshmi Narayanan and Dhruva Prasad bringing you the latest from the WC game between India and New Zealand from Seddon Park in Hamilton on Thursday.
Devine scampers for a quick one after tapping on the off side and a direct hit at the striker’s end. OUT! Bates is gone. Pooja Vastrakar with pinpoint accuracy and India strikes early. Amelia Kerr the new batter.
NZ 9/0 in 2 overs: Meghna Singh will share the new ball. Pitched up on and around off and Bates guides it straight to point. A bit of away movement in the air for Meghna. FOUR! Shaping away beautifully, Bates is drawn into the drive and an outside edge flies over the slips and to the third man fence.
NZ-W 5/0 in 1 over: Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine are out in the middle. Jhulan Goswami with the new ball. Straight and full first up and Bates defends it back. Similar line and length and Bates flicked it on the leg side and just short of a diving Harmanpreet Kaur at mid on. Pierced between gully and slips for a single; a little bit of an outside edge from Bates. FOUR! Devine starts off with a boundary behind point. Rose a bit with the bounce and punched it. Dot to end the over. Five runs from it.
6-22 AM: Both teams walk out for the national anthems. Twenty percent crowd capacity is permitted for this game so a bit of a buzz at the venue. India’s anthem is first up.
Team India getting into the groove ahead of the big clash.
IND-W vs NZ-W PLAYING XI
India Women: Smriti Mandhana, Yastika Bhatia, Deepti Sharma, Mithali Raj (c), Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh (wk), Sneh Rana, Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Jhulan Goswami, Meghna Singh.
New Zealand Women: Sophie Devine (c), Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, Amy Satterthwaite, Lea Tahuhu, Maddy Green, Frances Mackay, Katey Martin (wk), Jess Kerr, Hannah Rowe, Hayley Jensen.
PITCH REPORT: The pitch is a different than the one used for the England vs Australia game. A bit dry and Craig McMillan reckons 240 will be a good score on this wicket.
WHAT THE CAPTAINS SAID
Mithali Raj: We will have a bowl. Looks a good wicket and later on, there could be dew which will make batting easier. We depend a lot on spinners, so better to bowl first. One change – Yastika (Bhatia) replaces Shafali (Verma) at the top.
Sophie Devine: 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.
TOSS: Mithali Raj has won the toss and India will bowl first. In the only change for India, opener Shafali Verma is out and Yastika Bhatia comes in.
5-55 AM: India has lost both its WODIs at Seddon Park, the venue for today’s game. Out of the 11 WODIs played at the venue so far, five of the 11 games have been won by the team batting first.
5-50 AM: India is coming off a commanding 107-run victory over arch-rival Pakistan while New Zealand suffered a three-run loss against the West Indies before bouncing back with a nine-wicket demolition of Bangladesh. However, in the recently concluded WODI series between India and New Zealand, the White Ferns thrashed the Mithali Raj-led side 4-1. New Zealand also has the wood over the Indian women in the format with 32 wins from 53 matches. The last time the sides met at the ICC World Cup was in 2017, when the Women in Blue gave New Zealand a 186-run drubbing, dismissing their opponent for just 79.
STAT ALERT: Veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami (38) needs two wickets to surpass Lynn Fullston (39) and become the leading wicket-taker in World Cups. Goswami already has the most number of wickets in all WODIs, with 247 scalps from 196 matches.
5-00 AM: Hello everyone! The 12th edition of the Women’s Cricket World Cup is finally underway in New Zealand. The tournament which was initially scheduled to be played in February – March 2021, was postponed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Match #8 will see India take on host New Zealand
