Hosts India Women (IND-W) will take on New Zealand Women (NZ-W) in the second ODI, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, in Ahmedabad, on (Sunday) October 27. India were clinical in the first ODI of the series, winning it by 59 runs. Notably, the visitors were the same opposition when India lost their first game of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 by 58 runs.

But for the remainder of the series, the White Ferns will be without the services of Amelia Kerr, who has contracted a grade-one quadriceps tear. The T20 World Cup 2024 champions would like to make a comeback in the second ODI to level the series and keep the third ODI at the same venue in contention. New Zealand's batting could not keep up with the spin and running between the wickets.

Consequently, these factors proved expensive as they chased a nominal target of 228 runs. Moving ahead, they need to make amends in the field as a lack of communication between the batters was evident costing them three run-outs.

Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch assists batters in the beginning and turns slow aiding the bowlers who keep pace off the ball. The pacers on the other hand can rely on the early movement and hit the deck hard to extract some bounce. On the weather front, it is expected to be a sunny afternoon with clouds start hovering as the sun sets.

Probable Top Performers from IND vs NZ

Probable Best Batter: Shafali Verma

India Women's opener Shafali Verma is known to play fearless cricket opening for the Indian team. The right-handed batter scored a quick 33 runs off 22 balls laced with five boundaries and one maximum. India will hope that she provides an early boost and leverages the powerplay.

Probable Best Bowler: Radha Yadav

The slow left-arm orthodox spinner Radha Yadav picked the key wicket of Lauren Down as the right-handed-batter was settling seeing off the risky deliveries. She then went on to pick two more wickets and finished with the figures of three for 35 bowling 8.4 overs.
