NEW ZEALAND-W VS INDIA-W

INDIA WOMEN TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND 2019| 2ND T20I | AUCKLAND | NZ-W VS IN-W | February 8 2019

Despite a breezy half century from Smrithi Mandhana in the first T20 against New Zealand, the Indian women could not chase down the target set by the hosts.The middle order collapsed without any fight back .Mithali Raj was rested and Captain Harmanpreet suggested that she was building a team for the future. If going by her word the youngsters might get another chance to showcase their talents and the veteran may once again find herself in the side benches.

Sophie Devine was the main run scorer for New Zealand and was well supported by Amy Satterwaite . Katey Martin also made a quickfire 27 to take the score to 159 in 20 overs.Suzie Bates got out cheaply but is expected to make some big score on the flat wicket of Auckland.Lea Tahuhu was the chief wrecker of Indian batting line up.
