Throw it New Zealand he chose to hit vs India

New Zealand captain Sophie Devine opted to bat first in the second ODI against India in Ahmedabad. The visitors made two changes to the team that lost the first ODI on Thursday, although one of them was forced. Spin-bowler Amelia Kerr, ruled out of the remaining two matches of the series and most of the upcoming WBBL due to a torn left quadricep muscle, was replaced by left-arm spinner Fran Jonas.

Another change saw right-arm pacer Lea Tahuhu replace Molly Penfold, in what was a similar exchange. Penfold bowled five overs in the first ODI, and went wicketless while conceding 28 runs. But he suffered from cramps in the first game.

Mishra, 20, was part of India’s tour of Australia recently. In the unofficial Test, he took six wickets at Gold Coast and took five wickets in the third one-dayer which India A won by 171 runs. She was also the leading wicket-taker in the 2023-24 senior women’s one-day cup, with 23 scalps. He was then drafted by Gujarat Giants in WPL 2024, but did not get a chance to play.

India lead the three-match series 1-0 after a 59-run victory in the first ODI. New Zealand, on the other hand, need to win the second match not only to keep the series alive, but also to collect important points in the Women’s Championship. They are currently placed at number 6 where there are only five top teams and India as the hosts who qualify for next year’s World Cup.
