Match Preview
The host nation, India, hasn't been at their best in recent matches and are coming off three consecutive losses, all from winning positions. These three losses have put them on the brink of elimination. With two matches left in the tournament, India needs to win both to make it to the semi-finals, and they face a tough challenge in the form of New Zealand, who have historically gotten the better of the Women in Blue in World Cups.
India's major problem has been their bowling unit and confusion over team combinations, and they have come under the scanner for poor tactical decisions made on the field during matches. Smriti Mandhana, after a slow start to the tournament, has scored fifty-plus in the last two matches, while Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur returned to form with a quickfire 70 in the last match. The onus is on these two players to bat through and guide India to a much-needed win.
New Zealand Women have had a bit of a disappointing week, where they could have won against Sri Lanka, but rain interruptions cost them the match, and their game against Pakistan Women was also called off when they had their opponents in trouble at 92/5. The Kiwi's focus now shifts to Navi Mumbai, as they have two huge games coming up against India, which they must win to stay in the hunt for a semi-final spot.
