On Tuesday, India Women, under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, will play New Zealand Women in the series finale. After losing by 76 runs in the last game, where New Zealand scored 259 runs after choosing to bat first, the hosts are hoping to recover.

With 79 runs and three wickets, Sophie Devine was New Zealand’s standout player. Maddy Green also made 42 off 41 balls. The three wickets taken by Lea Tahuhu shook the Indian batting order. India would look to the more seasoned players, especially Smriti Mandhana, to perform better.

The scene is set for a thrilling match at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Although the team that wins the toss may choose to bat first, the surface is predicted to favor batsmen. For India to overcome New Zealand’s formidable team, they must strengthen their bowling and batting.

Both teams will put forth their best effort to win the series because it is on the line. Will New Zealand win the series, or can the Indian women make amends? The final is expected to be an exciting match.

Head-To-Head Records:

India would seek home advantage because New Zealand is better at direct encounters in ODI. The White Ferns have won 34 of the 56 One-Day International matches between the two titans, while the Women in Blue have won 21 of them.

Who will win the match? 

A final one-day international between the two contenders, women’s India and New Zealand, should be an entertaining contest. This one is a challenge to make because any of the teams has shown its strengths and weaknesses.

But considering how they played the last game, nz seemed to be in a better commanding position. Often-changing bowler forcing Maddy Green’s aggressive hitting and Sophie Devine’s able swap between batting and bowling to instill questions into India’s lineup.

Though Harmanpreet Kaur has India on the home ground and Smriti Mandhana with the bat. Indeed, the game is very tight but New Zealand may have an upper hand given the current form. New Zealand women were expected to triumph.
