Women’s WC 2022: IND vs NZ Preview – Buoyant India look to upset hosts
The India Women will clash with the New Zealand Women in their second league game in the ongoing World Cup. The Mithali Raj-led side experienced a scintillating start to their campaign.
The ‘Women in Blue’ decimated their arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening match of the tournament by 107 runs. India were superior to Pakistan in every department of the game and will look to continue with their good run when they clash against the Kiwis.
On the other hand, the Black Caps have won a game and lost a game apiece. While they lost to the West Indies in their opening match by three runs, they hammered the Bangladesh side by nine wickets in their second rubber.
New Zealand too will look to continue with the winning form when they take the field at Seddon Park in Hamilton. This match between these two units is expected to be a cracker.
