India Women Tour of New Zealand 2022, NZ-W vs IN-W 2nd ODI, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report, and Other Updates

The Indian Women will meet the New Zealand Women in the second ODI match aiming for a victory. The battle between NZ-W vs IN-W will take place at the John Davies Oval, Queenstown.

In the first ODI, New Zealand pulled off a victory to lead the series in 1-0 by a margin of 62 runs. An unbeaten century by Suzie Bates alongside Amy Satherwaite who scored 63 runs and a four for by Jess Kerr helped the Ferns to win the first match in the three-match series.

The Indian Women found it hard to find the pace in the first overs and also were sloppy in the field. The batting order performed below par as other than a half-century from Mithali Raj, there is nothing much to highlight. The turbulence in the batting order failed to find consistency in the batting order.
