India Vs New Zealand Highlights, Womens T20I Full Score: Hosts Clinch 18 Run Win – Firstpost

India women vs New Zealand women, Live cricket score, one-off T20I: New Zealand beat India by 18 runs in the one-off T20I in Queenstown. Chasing 156, India were stopped at 137/8 with the visitors never really looking to go past the finishing line.

Preview: India women’s cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, take on New Zealand in a one-off T20I on Wednesday as their limited-overs tour to Kiwiland gets underway.

The T20I will be followed by five ODIs, as the Women in Blue look to finetune their preparations for the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, starting on 4 March.

All matches will be played at the John Davies Oval in Queenstown in order to reduce the risk of COVID-19.

T20I skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will be looking to carry on her form from the Women’s Big Bash League where the 32-year-old, playing for Melbourne Renegades, amassed 406 runs from 13 games, earning herself a Player of the Tournament Award.

In a stark contrast, Harmanpreet has had a forgettable last 12 months in T20Is for India, scoring just 121 runs from six matches.

The trio of Jemimah Rodrigues, Harleen Deol and Shikha Pandey do not find themselves in the T20I squad.

Right-arm medium pacer Meghna Singh is likely to make her T20I debut, while Yastika Bhatia and Sneh Rana are also set to be part of the playing XI.

India’s bowling department consists of the experienced Ekta Bisht and Poonam Yadav. The two share a combined tally of 151 wickets between them,.

Ekta Bisht, though, last played a T20I for India in March 2019 against England and will look to make her opportunity count.

New Zealand will be led by Sophie Devine and the White Ferns side sees familiar faces in Suzie Bates and Amy Satterthwaite. Pacer Lea Tahuhu will be leading the bowling attack.
