India vs New Zealand, Women’s World Cup 2022 LIVE score and updates: India are bundled out for 198 after being set 261 to win by New Zealand, with Harmanpreet Kaur’s 63-ball 71 going in vain. New Zealand move to the 2nd spot with their second win in three games, while India fall to the fifth position. Preview: India take on New Zealand in the 8th match of Women’s World Cup 2022 at Seddon Park, Hamilton. India would be looking to carry forward the momentum after their win in the opener against Pakistan. It’s a clash of familiar foes. India faced New Zealand in six matches before the World Cup. 1 T20I and five ODIs. But they managed to win just one of those matches, losing five. They lost their first four ODIs but won the last one and from there on gained some momentum. They won their two warm-up matches against South Africa and West Indies. And then beat Pakistan in convinving manner in their opening WC match. Even though they started off on a winning note, there is a vast room for improvement. Opener Shafali Verma has endured a bumpy ride of late and got out on a duck against Pakistan and would be looking to step up a gear. The middle order would look to make amends after a no show against Pakistan. Mithali Raj scored 9, Harmanpreet Kaur scored 5 while Richa Ghosh could manage just 1. It was left for Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar to perform the rescue act with a record 122-run stand and propel India to a competitive 244/7. The bowlers though were on the mark right from the start and bundled Pakistan out for 137. New Zealand didn’t quite get off to a positive start, losing to West Indies narrowly in their opener. They however bounced back hard against Bangladesh with a 9-wicket win in the rain-hit match. Satterthwaite led the way with 3/25 to restrict Bangladesh to 140/8 from 27 overs. Chasing the target, the White Ferns lost Sophie Devine early but Suzie Bates (79 off 68 balls) and Amelia Kerr (47 off 37 balls) launched a counter attack to seal the deal in 20 overs with nine wickets to spare. India would look to take the revenge of the ODI series loss while the Kiwis would look to amass crucial points on the table. We can expect a cracker.

)
That brings us to the end of our coverage of the eighth match of the World Cup between New Zealand and India, with the White Ferns jumping to the second spot on the points table with a comprehensive 62-run win. India did perform well in patches, especially the manner in which they restricted the Kiwi batters in the death overs as well as Harmanpreet Kaur’s 63-ball 71, but the scoring rate as well as sloppy fielding once again undid all their hard work. India have a short turnaround until their next game, facing West Indies on Saturday, and will have to find a way to fix their issues before it gets too late.
For now, this is Amit Banerjee signing off. Have a great day ahead!
Amy Satterthwaite is the Player of the Match for her 75
Satterthwaite: “There were patches where I really struggled. Didn’t get where we would’ve liked, but in the end it was quite enough. (On her timing) It was there in patches but it was there long enough to get us to that total.”
What a performance by the Kiwis!
OUT! Team India are bundled out for 198 as New Zealand complete a comprehensive 62-run victory to collect their second victory in three games! Gayakwad’s the last batter to depart, getting a feather of an edge in the first ball that she faces.
Gayakwad c Martin b Jensen 0(1)
BOWLED! Goswami gets a taste of her own medicine as Jensen rattles the leg stump with a well-aimed yorker. IND 198/9
Goswami b Jensen 15(13)
After 46 overs,India Women 193/8 ( Jhulan Goswami 15 , Meghna Singh 7)
SIX! Monster hit over cow corner by Jhulan Goswami, who is quite the handy lower-order batter herself! DROPPED! Jensen spills a dolly after a mishit by Goswami off Amelia, allowing Goswami to get off strike with a single. Meghna then collects her first boundary courtesy an outside edge towards the third man region. Single to Meghna to end the over.
After 45 overs,India Women 181/8 ( Jhulan Goswami 8 , Meghna Singh 2)
Jensen returns as Meghna joins Goswami at the centre for the business end of the Indian chase. Goswami collects a single off the second ball, while Meghna gets off the mark with a brace off the last ball. India need 80 off 30.
After 44 overs,India Women 178/8 ( Jhulan Goswami 7 , Meghna Singh 0)
Now Goswami gets into the act, smashing the ball over extra cover for a boundary, which is followed by a single off each of the next three balls. Just when India seemed to be making a comeback in the game, Amelia Kerr gets rid of Harmanpreet to put paid to India’s hopes. India need 83 more to win off 36.
OUT! That should be the final nail in the coffin for the Indians! Harmanpreet looks to go downtown for a third time today, going for a lofted drive over mid off, but doesn’t get enough power on the shot to clear the fence this time. New Zealand skipper Sophie Devine holds on as Amelia Kerr grabs her third wicket. IND 178/8
Kaur c Devine b A Kerr 71(63)
After 43 overs,India Women 171/7 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 70 , Jhulan Goswami 1)
Kaur tees off in this over, smashing two sixes over the midwicket region and collecting two fours as well, as Rowe bleeds 20 runs in her seventh over. Is this the over that could mark the beginning of a dramatic turnaround? Only time will tell. India need 90 off 42.
After 41 overs,India Women 147/7 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 47 , Jhulan Goswami 0)
Single off each of the first three balls of the over before Vastrakar ends up getting caught at mid off to depart for 6 as India slide further towards a heavy defeat. Kaur, meanwhile, pulls in front of square in the last ball, moving to 47 with her fourth boundary. Seven from the over. India need 114 off 54.
OUT! Tame end to what turned out to be an underwhelming innings from Pooja Vastrakar after her heroics 67 against Pakistan. Gets a thick leading edge off a short-of-length ball from Rowe, and it’s a simple enough chance for Devine at mid off. IND 143/7
Vastrakar c Devine b Rowe 6(16)
After 40 overs,India Women 140/6 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 41 , Pooja Vastrakar 5)
Amelia Kerr returns to the attack. Just two from the over, with Kaur and Vastrakar collecting a single each. End of the second powerplay. Just 10 more overs to go, and unless the current pair are able to launch a late assault of extraordinary proportions, an Indian victory is pretty much out of the equation.
After 39 overs,India Women 138/6 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 40 , Pooja Vastrakar 4)
Hannah Rowe returns to the attack with the game pretty much in the bag for the White Ferns. Three singles from the over, with Kaur batting on 40 at the end of the over. India need 123 off 66.
After 38 overs,India Women 135/6 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 39 , Pooja Vastrakar 2)
Four singles are collected in the first five balls, with new batter Vastrakar getting off the mark in the third delivery. Kaur ends the over with a boundary, pulling behind square off Mackay. Eight off the over.
After 37 overs,India Women 127/6 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 33 , Pooja Vastrakar 0)
Rana and Kaur collect a single each before Tahuhu bounces the former out to grab her third wicket of the evening, signing off with potential match-winning figures of 3/17 from her 10 overs. Boy was she phenomenal today with the ball.
OUT! Superb bouncer from Lea Tahuhu as Sneh Rana ends up getting a faint edge while trying to duck. Tahuhu gets her third wicket in her final over of the evening, as India lose their sixth wicket. IND 127/6
Rana c Martin b Tahuhu 18(28)
After 36 overs,India Women 125/5 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 32 , Sneh Rana 17)
Frances Mackay returns to give Amelia Kerr a break. Kaur and Rana collect three singles to keep the scoreboard ticking. India need 136 off 84.
After 35 overs,India Women 122/5 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 31 , Sneh Rana 15)
Three from Tahuhu’s penultimate over, including a wide down the leg side in the penultimate delivery. India need another 139 to win from 90 balls with five wickets in hand.
After 34 overs,India Women 119/5 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 30 , Sneh Rana 14)
Kaur collects a treble in the first delivery of this over after a paddle towards fine leg. Couple of singles collected later in the over with five coming off Amelia Kerr’s fifth. Partnership between Kaur and Rana currently worth 22.
After 33 overs,India Women 114/5 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 26 , Sneh Rana 13)
Just three singles from Tahuhu’s eighth over, the seamer having conceded just 12 runs for her two wickets so far today. India will look to see her off and attack the other bowlers.
After 32 overs,India Women 111/5 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 24 , Sneh Rana 12)
FOUR! Rana collects her first boundary courtesy an edge that flies wide of the slip fielder. Rana was looking to drive the ball, and would have had her heart in her mouth for a moment after the edge. Good over for India with eight coming off Amelia’s fourth.
After 31 overs,India Women 103/5 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 23 , Sneh Rana 5)
Tahuhu returns and bowls out another tidy over, giving away just two singles and offering Rana some pleasantries after firing a well-aimed bouncer at her in the fifth delivery. Time for the players to have a drink.
After 31 overs,India Women 103/5 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 23 , Sneh Rana 5)
Amelia Kerr brings the White Ferns back in firm control by dismissing skipper Mithali Raj and keeper-batter Richa Ghosh off successive balls as Team India lose half their side with just 97 on board. Sneh Rana is the next ball at the crease, with the Kiwis having a packed close-in field around her for the hat-trick ball, though Rana responds with a firm cut for a boundary that brings up the 100 for the Women in Blue. Six runs and two wickets from this over.
OUT! Another disappointing outing for Richa Ghosh with the bat as the wicketkeeper-batter is clean bowled for a golden duck, getting her off stump rattled while looking to cut the rising delivery. IND 97/5
Ghosh b A Kerr 0(1)
OUT! Amelia Kerr strikes in her third over as Mithali Raj misses after charging down the track looking for a slog sweep, resulting in an easy stumping opportunity for Katey Martin. The 47-run stand for the fourth wicket has been broken! IND 97/4
Raj st Martin b A Kerr 31(56)
After 29 overs,India Women 95/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 31 , Harmanpreet Kaur 21)
Both Raj and Kaur strike the ball hard in Mackay’s sixth over, but are unable to find the gaps and have to be content with collecting singles. Three from the over.
After 28 overs,India Women 92/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 29 , Harmanpreet Kaur 20)
FOUR! Harmanpreet gets down on one knee and sweeps through square leg, beating Hannah Rowe running to her right from deep midwicket. Nine from Amelia’s second over, with three singles as well as a double to Harman in the second delivery. Both batters appearing fairly well set right now.
After 27 overs,India Women 83/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 27 , Harmanpreet Kaur 13)
Spin from both ends now as Frances Mackay returns. Four from the over, all of them coming through singles. Decent little partnership starting to build between the experienced pair at the moment, worth 33 at the end of the over.
After 26 overs,India Women 79/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 25 , Harmanpreet Kaur 11)
Leg-spinner Amelia Kerr introduced into the attack for the first time, replacing her sister Jess. Four singles collected in the over as Mithali and Harmanpreet continue to rotate the strike between themselves.
After 25 overs,India Women 75/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 23 , Harmanpreet Kaur 9)
Short and wide from Jensen to Mithali in the third delivery, and the latter slashes this past the diving point, pushing for a second. Kaur collects her first boundary with a pull behind square two balls later. Three singles collected in addition to the double and the four, with Jensen leaking nine runs in this over. India slowly getting back on their feet now, although they will need a few more of those boundaries, given their run rate is only three-an-over at the moment. India need 186 to win from 150 balls.
After 24 overs,India Women 66/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 19 , Harmanpreet Kaur 4)
Single off each of the first three deliveries, before Kaur pulls behind square off a short-of-length ball, getting enough time to come back for a second. Five off Jess Kerr’s second over of the spell.
After 23 overs,India Women 61/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 17 , Harmanpreet Kaur 1)
Tidy over from Jensen with just one coming from it, as Mithali collects a single off the third delivery. India need exactly 200 more to win from 27 overs with seven wickets in hand.
After 22 overs,India Women 60/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 16 , Harmanpreet Kaur 1)
Raj drives the ball towards extra cover in the third delivery, the ball landing just short of the fielder and going past her to allow the batter an easy single. Harmanpreet steers a low full toss through point for a single in the fifth delivery, getting off the mark in the process. Mithali keeps the strike with a single off the last ball. Three from the over.
After 21 overs,New Zealand Women 119/2 ( Amelia Kerr 49 , Amy Satterthwaite 23)
Mithali finally decides to show some intent in this over, going for a lofted drive over mid on for a brace before the ball flies past the lone slip after a thick outside edge to give the India skipper her first boundary of this World Cup. She cuts the ball past point for a single off the final delivery to keep the strike. Seven from the over.
After 20 overs,India Women 50/3 ( Mithali Raj (C) 7 , Harmanpreet Kaur 0)
And now a wicket maiden for Lea Tahuhu, who’s bowling the spell of a lifetime at the moment (6-2-7-2) as the set Yastika Bhatia departs for 28. Harmanpreet Kaur joins Mithali Raj at the crease with the situation looking increasingly grim for the Women in Blue. India desperately need a major partnership between the two experienced campaigners now.
After 19 overs,India Women 50/2 ( Yastika Bhatia 28 , Mithali Raj (C) 7)
Bhatia and Raj continue to rotate the strike, with three singles coming in the over as Team India cross the 50-mark, although they have consumed nearly 20 overs for the same. The White Ferns had done the same in half as many overs.
