India Women's cricket team will take on hosts of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022, New Zealand Women. India started their tournament perfectly against arch-rival Pakistan, winning the fixture by 107 runs. Next up for the Ladies in Blue is a difficult challenge.
Not a long back, New Zealand had thrashed India 4-1 in their recent ODI series. However, they have lost their opening game and will look to continue their dominance against India.
On the recently-concluded series, The White Ferns vice-captain Amy Satterthwaite said, "It was both things -- a little bit of an insight to their players and some important information to looking forward to tomorrow's game. But we had obviously a successful series against them in Queenstown leading into this, it gives the group a lot of confidence, both with the bat and ball."
