This will be the second ODI of the 3-match series between India and New Zealand women. India won the first ODI by 59 runs. All three matches will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The second ODI will be played on 27th October at 1:30 PM IST.
India won the first game thanks to a collective effort from the bowling group. The middle order stepped up and scored some useful runs after Smriti Mandhana and Dayala Hemlatha were dismissed early. Debutants Saima Thakor and Tejal Hasabnis were very impressive. India will be eyeing a series win in this match.
Meanwhile, New Zealand got a big blow as star all-rounder Amelia Kerr has been ruled out of the series after tearing her left quadricep muscle. Their batters failed badly and the bowlers did a good job. Senior players like Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine must take responsibility to keep the White Ferns alive in the series.
