India had to chase only 161 runs. However, India was bowled out for 102 in 19 overs. India’s batting caused the team to lose, as even their captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, who came into the game at last, could score only 15 runs.
Lea Tahuhu took three wickets alongside the four-wicket achievement of Rosemary Mair for New Zealand.
Earlier, Sophie Devine scored a stubborn fifty as New Zealand put up 160/4 in 20 overs. New Zealand started really well as Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer, the openers, scored 27 and 34 runs, respectively.
The momentum brought New Zealand a strong finish through Sophie Devine’s unbeaten 57* off 36 balls. Meanwhile, Renuka Thakur struck twice for India.
On a pitch that looked nice for batting in the first innings, the top order of India just couldn’t get going, and the maximum score was 15, reached by nobody, with 5 out of the top 6 people making twin-digit scores.
Eden Carson did the damage early on, removing both openers, taking a return catch to dismiss Shafali Verma (2), and having Smriti Mandhana caught at long-on for 12.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur was looking really great and was also leading the recovery, but she got out in the last over when Rosemary Mair bowled her out.
Moreover, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur ranged the recovery and in the pursuit of the past, but she fell at the back end of the powerplay when she was trapped in front by Rosemary Mair.
Team India’s Statement
Speaking after the match, India captain Harmanpreet said, “We didn’t play to our best today. Moving ahead, we have to think about what areas we have to improve. From now on every game is important, and we have to give our best. We created chances. It’s not that we didn’t create. NZ played better cricket than us, no doubt about that.
This is such a high stage where you cannot make these mistakes. We have chased 160-170 many times. But on that pitch. It was 10-15 runs too many. The way the NZ’s team started, I was thinking it would be 180. This was not the start we were expecting (in this tournament).”
