New Zealand Women will take on India Women in the Only T20I. The NZ-W vs IN-W game will be played at the John Davies Oval, Queenstown. It’s been a while since NZ-W have played T20Is. NZ-W suffered defeat in their series against ENG-W by 2-1. They haven’t been able to win a T20I series in the last two years. Sophie Devine is expected to lead the side and to deliver good performances for the team.
Respectively, IN-W is also experiencing a rough phase having lost their last 3 T20I series. The last time IN-W won the series was back in 2019, when they whitewashed WI-W by 5-0. Immense responsibilities are on the shoulders of the Indian leader Harmanpreet Kaur who has a lot to prove in this tour.
