India Women vs New Zealand Women is the second ODI of the series, which will be played on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. 

Combined batting efforts and an equally effective bowling display enabled India Women to secure a 59-run win in the first ODI on Thursday. It was a memorable debut for Tejal Hasabnis and Saima Thakor, who played a pivotal role in the win, scoring 42 runs and picking up 2 wickets, respectively. Deepti Sharma stole the limelight at the end, as she was adjudged the Player of the Match for scoring 41 runs and picking up a wicket. 

New Zealand Women did all the hard work to bowl India Women for 227 but an unpleasant batting display in the 2nd half led to their loss in the 1st ODI. New T20 champions collected 168 runs before losing all their 10 wickets inside 41 overs.

IND-W vs NZ-W 2nd ODI Match Analysis:

India Women’s Team Preview

Probable Playing XI – Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Tejal Hasabnis, Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Radha Yadav, Saima Thakor, Renuka Singh. 

After a disappointing show in the Women’s T20 World Cup, India Women showcased their excellence in the 1st ODI of the series, scripting a comfortable 59-run win to go 1-0 up in the series. They got a huge blow before the start of the play as skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was ruled out of the game due to a niggle with Smriti Mandhana taking charge of the team. Three of their batters including Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, and Jemimah Rodrigues, scored 30-odd runs each, while Tejal Hasabnis and Deepti Sharma did well in the middle, adding 42 runs and 41 runs respectively. 

Radha Yadav emerged as the pick of the bowler, claiming 3 scalps while debutant seamer, Saima Thakor bagged 2 wickets. It is learned that skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will be ready for the 2nd ODI and lead the side. 

New Zealand Women’s Team Preview

Probable Playing XI – Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Lauren Down, Sophie Devine (c), Amelia Kerr, Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Isabella Gaze (wk), Jess Kerr, Molly Penfold, Eden Carson.

New Zealand Women who were still in the hangover from the T20 World Cup success, didn’t get the right inspiration to play their best cricket in the 1st ODI and as a result, lost the match easily. They kept their match-winner, Amelia Kerr down the order as she was struggling with cramps while bowling in the first half, although the 24-year-old all-rounder was the standout player for the visitors, scoring 25* runs and picking up 4 wickets. 

Brooke Halliday (39) and Maddy Green (31) worked hard for their runs, while their experienced players Suzie Bates (1) and Sophie Devine (2) departed for single-digit scores. 

Apart from Amelia Kerr, her sister Jess Kerr did a fine job early on, picking up 3 wickets while Eden Carson bagged 2 wickets. 

As a side, they need to make a quick overall turnaround in the 2nd ODI to stay in the series. 

Venue and Pitch Report

The surface for the 2nd India Women vs New Zealand Women will be pretty much the same as that used for the 1st ODI. Spinners will get plenty of assistance from the wicket that offers turn. For Women’s games, chasing anything more than 200 in this part of the world is always a tough task. 

IND-W vs NZ-W 2nd ODI Winner Prediction

India Women took an early lead with a stellar performance in the 1st ODI and obviously will go in as favourites for the 2nd ODI as skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is likely to be fit which further bolsters the side.

Top Run Scorer

Deepti Sharma is raising her bar as a complete all-rounder for India Women. She made 41 runs in the 1st ODI and is keen to capitalize on a good start in the upcoming 2nd ODI. She is expected to be the top run-scorer in the IND-W vs NZ-W 2nd ODI. 

Most Wickets

Amelia Kerr bagged a 4-wicket haul in the 1st ODI, if fit, she is expected to deliver the same in the 2nd ODI.

India Women Squad Preview

Recent form: Won, Won, Won, Lost, Lost

Squad – Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana (vc), Shafali Verma, Dayalan Hemalatha, Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Yastika Bhatia, Uma Chetry (wk), Sayali Satgare, Arundhati Reddy, Renuka Singh Thakur, Tejal Hasabnis, Saima Thakor, Priya Mishra, Radha Yadav, Shreyanka Patil. 

Despite speculations of change in leadership duties following a disappointing campaign in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup held in UAE, Indian selectors still have faith in Harmanpreet Kaur who has been retained as the skipper for the upcoming India Women vs New Zealand Women ODI series. Stylish top-order batter Smriti Mandhana has been appointed as the vice-captain. Richa Ghosh will be the notable absentee from the 16-member squad as the 21-year-old was rested due to her 12th standard exams. 

Pooja Vastrakar has been rested while Asha Sobhana has been ruled out of the series after sustaining an injury during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. It’s the comeback series for Uma Chetry, who was overlooked after the Women’s Asia Cup held in Sri Lanka. 

The squad includes four uncapped players: Tejal Hasnabis, Sayali Satgare, Priya Mishra, and Saima Thakor, who were rewarded following an impressive performance against Australia A. 

India Women will begin their preparations for the ICC Women’s World Cup when they are set to host in September-October 2025. 

With T20 getting the centre stage after the inception of the Women’s Premier League, they had limited exposure to the 50-format over the last few years and made only 4 appearances in 2024, holding a 3-1 win-loss record. Their latest assignment was against South Africa where they completed a 3-0 clean sweep.

Key Players to Watch Out for:

Smriti Mandhana

Pressure is mounting on Smriti Mandhana who didn’t have the best of outings for her standards in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, managing 75 runs across 4 matches. The 28-year-old Southpaw was at her supreme best during the bilateral ODI series against South Africa in June this year, smashing 343 runs in 3 matches at an average of 114.33 which comprises 2 centuries and a half-century. 

In her 85 ODIs overall, she has gathered 3585 runs at an average of 45.37 with the best score of 136. Having a profound knowledge of the home conditions, she is desperate to get back into her best of forms in the forthcoming INDW vs NZW bilateral ODI series. 

New Zealand is yet to announce their squad. We will update the information once available.

India Women has a 1-4 win-loss record against New Zealand Women in their last 5 meetings and are hopeful of improving their head-to-head results in the upcoming 3-matches series. Sign Up now on our Cricket Betting App – GUGOBET and get a 100% Welcome Bonus.

New Zealand Women who just won their maiden ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on Sunday in the summit clash against South Africa now have to switch their celebrations mode to work mode as they have already arrived in India to take part in the 3-matches ODI series against India Women which starts on October 24th. The series could serve as a dress rehearsal for the White Ferns as they have to come back for the sub-continent next year to take part in the Cricket World Cup.

The squad was announced a day after they were crowned T20 World champions. They kept the bulk of the squad that featured in the historic title win in UAE with only Rosemary Mair and Leigh Kasperek missing from the 15-member list. Considering the workload management, Rosemary Mair was dropped while there was no place for Leigh Kasperek.

Lauren Down has been included in the squad and there is a maiden call-up for wicketkeeper batter Polly Inglis. Sophie Devine will lead the troops with regulars Suzie Bates, Maddy Green, Amelia Kerr, Brooke Halliday, and Georgia Plimmer all forming the core of the unit.

New Zealand’s form in the ODIs this year hasn’t been overwhelming as they won a solitary game out of 6 matches. It’s going to be their first visit to India for bilateral ODIs since 2015 when they lost the 5-matches series 3-2.

Overall 7 bilateral series have happened between India Women and New Zealand Women with the former winning 4 of them, while New Zealand has won twice and the other one ended in a draw.

Players to Watch Out for

Amelia Kerr is an out-and-out game-changer who was adjudged the Player of the Match in the recently concluded ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, where she scored 135 runs and picked up 15 wickets. She became the only Women’s cricketer to bag The Player of the Match award in the finals and was also named the Player of the Tournament.

Coming from a cricket background family, Amelia Kerr burst into the International arena at the age of 16 when she made her ODI debut against Pakistan Women in November 2016. Two weeks apart, she received her maiden T20I cap against the same opposition. In her 74 ODIs overall, she mustered 2082 runs at an average of 42.48 and picked up 91 wickets with the best figures of 5 for 17. Watch out for her in the India Women vs New Zealand Women ODI series.

New Zealand Women are buzzing with confidence following their success in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup and are hopeful of extending a similar performance against India in the forthcoming series. Join GUGOBET now and get a 100% Welcome Bonus.
