IND W vs NZ W Live: India will aim to end the title drought
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who is probably playing her last T20 World Cup, has been witness to several near misses and disappointing moments of the title, including the defeat against Australia in the final in Melbourne in the T20 World Cup 2020. Like in the past, this Indian team is also full of talent and probably only Australia has such a good team. But defending champions Australia have six T20 World Cup titles, while India are waiting for their first title. New Zealand are two-time runners-up and a win against them can be taken as a sign of being in good shape strategically and mentally. It will be important for India to start with a win as Australia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan are also in this group.

IND W vs NZ W Live: Mandhana in rhythm, Harmanpreet’s poor form a matter of concern
India will be hoping for significant contributions from its top players 35-year-old Harmanpreet, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodriguez, Shefali Verma and Deepti Sharma. Shefali and Mandhana are in great form. He scored in his last international match in the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka in July but India lost to the hosts in the final. Mandhana has scored three half-centuries in the last five T20 innings. However, Harmanpreet’s performance has been somewhat disappointing and her form is essential for India’s top and middle order.

IND W vs NZ W Live: Role of spinners will be important
There is every possibility that India will play only two fast bowlers in the match against New Zealand and will have to rely more on spinners. India has exceptional variety in the spin department. The attack will be led by off-spinners Deepti Sharma and Shreyanka Patil, leg-spinner Asha Shobhana and left-arm spinner Radha Yadav. The New Zealand team also has a good mix of experienced and young players, due to which the team’s claim is strong. Charismatic captain Sophie Devine, experienced all-rounder Suzie Bates and experienced fast bowlers Lee Tahuhu and Leigh Kasparek form the backbone of the team. Young all-rounder Amelia Kerr is also an important part of the team and the New Zealand team can give a shocking performance in the tournament. However, the deteriorating pitches may help India’s spinners, who are the team’s strong suit.
