The Harmanpreet Kaur-led Women in Blue are hosting New Zealand Women in a three-match ODI series at home after their heartbreaking group stage exit from the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. While the hosts currently lead the series by 1-0 margin, they are locking horns with the White Ferns in the second Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, October 27.
At the start of the second ODI, the Sophie Devine-led side won the toss and opted to bat first. While Suzie Bates (58 off 70) and Georgia Plimmer (41 off 50) stitched a 99-run stand for the White Ferns, India’s star bowler, Radhav Yadav pulled off a stunning catch to break the crucial partnership of the top order batters.

In the 16th over of the New Zealand inning, Deepti Sharma bowled a good length delivery to Georgia Plimmer. The Kiwi opener got early into the flick, leading the ball lob off the thick inside half. Radha Yadav, who was stationed at mid-wicket, dove acrobatically to give India a much-needed breakthrough, ending the crucial partnership up top.

The 24-year-old slow left arm orthodox bowler has time and again proved her worth on the field while playing for India. The Indian bowler after her brilliant fielding effort in the ongoing match, once again showcased her brilliance as she completed a caught and bowled opportunity to dismiss half-centurion Suzie Bates.
At the time of writing, the New Zealand Women scoreboard read 159/4 after 35 overs with Sophie Devine and Maddy Green in the middle.
