The fifth fixture of the five-match ODI series between New Zealand Women and India Women will be played on Thursday, 24 February, at John Davies Oval in Queenstown.
The White Ferns, led by Sophie Devine, have looked in ominous form so far in the ongoing ODI series. Having taken a 4-0 lead, the home team is currently eyeing a whitewash.
On Tuesday, 22 February, New Zealand defeated the Women in Blue by 63 runs in a rain-curtailed 20-over game. After being put in to bat first, the home team racked up a massive score of 191 for five.
Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates laid the platform with knocks of 32 and 41 respectively. But it was Amelia Kerr who carried on her good form and scored 68 off 33 with 11 fours and one six. Amy Satterthwaite also played a handy 16-ball knock of 32 to propel the White Ferns’ score.
Renuka Singh picked up two wickets for the visiting team. Meghna Singh, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Deepti Sharma got one wicket apiece.
India lost Yastika Bhatia and Shafali Verma for ducks while chasing. Smriti Mandhana couldn’t make an impact either. But Richa Ghosh entertained one and all with a 29-ball 52 with four fours and as many sixes. Mithali Raj made 30, but India were bowled out for 128.
Hayley Jensen and Amelia Kerr picked up three wickets apiece for the White Ferns.
