India Women vs New Zealand Women Match Prediction - Who will win today’s 2nd ODI match between IND vs NZ?

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.

Narendra Modi Stadium 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.
