India will take on New Zealand on Thursday, October 23 in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup. This is a do-or-die clash for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side as a loss here will leave them with the fate not on their own hands. After starting the showpiece event with back-to-back wins against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, India have faced hat-trick of defeats against South Africa, Australia, and England. With already three teams qualified for the semis, there is only one spot left with India and New Zealand fighting for it.
The Sophie Devine-led side have been hard done by the weather, as two games have been washed away. However, if not for rains, New Zealand would have found the going tough against co-hosts Sri Lanka, who had batted earlier to post a score above 250. Now, there is no more room for slip-ups as a loss against Indians would end smash sisters - Devine and Suzie Bates ODI World Cup dream. Both teams are searching for momentum, however, only one will go through in this high-stakes clash.
