Inn Break
That’s it then! The second day of this ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 has flown by. India Women have been humbled in their opener and will have to come back strongly in their next assignment against Pakistan Women. While New Zealand Women, buoyed by this win will enter with a lot of confidence against Australia Women in their next encounter. But before that, this weekend promises an exciting doubleheader! The defending champions, Australia Women, will kick off their title defence against Sri Lanka Women in a Group A clash. That game is set to start on Saturday, 5th October at 10 am GMT. Following that, the in-form England Women will commence their mission to glory and face off against Bangladesh Women in a Group B face-off at 2 pm GMT. Both matches will take place at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Don’t forget to join us an hour early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and take care!
Sophie Devine, the captain of New Zealand Women says that she is incredibly proud of her side, especially with their recent results, to come out against a class side like India and win in such a way. Adds that they take inspiration from the Black Caps and their success in the big tournaments and it is a great way to start the campaign. Mentions that the Powerplay was key and to pile on runs without losing a wicket in those first 6 overs was crucial and then a couple of cameos at the death helped as well. Mentions that they thought 150 was par and got a few extra runs. Adds that they knew India's ability with the bat and tried to keep the line at the stumps and the bowlers did their job brilliantly. Ends by saying that it is always special to take on Australia and those are the games you dream of playing, against World Champions.
The captain of India Women, Harmanpreet Kaur says that her team did not play their best cricket and they need to think about the areas where they need to improve. Feels that they created chances but could not convert them which you can afford in a World Cup. Tells that they know every game from now on is important and they need to be at their best. Feels that they gave 10-15 runs too many but it still was a gettable total, if anyone from the batting unit could have got in. Shares that the way they fought back with the ball was a positive but this was not the start they were hoping for.
Sophie Devine is the Player of the Match for her stellar performance with the bat and three catches as well. She starts by saying that the platform laid down by Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer was excellent and even when things slowed down in the middle, they had wickets in hand and could up the ante. She then goes on to applaud the cameos, especially the one Brooke Halliday played. On her knock, she says that it was difficult to start on this deck but she just kept on going at it and ends by saying that it is nice to be rewarded after a valiant effort.
The Presentation Ceremony...
Earlier in the game, after opting to bat first, the Kiwis started strong, with openers Bates and Plimmer laying a solid foundation in the first six overs. They played cautiously yet effectively, setting the stage for a competitive total. However, the game's momentum shifted when India claimed a couple of quick wickets, turning the match into a tactical contest. India's spinners then took control, effectively slowing the run rate during the middle overs. Despite these challenges, New Zealand regained control in the death overs. Sophie Devine's unbeaten half-century, along with crucial partnerships with Kerr and Halliday, propelled the team forward. The Kiwis finished strong, scoring 51 runs in the final five overs and posting a challenging total for India to chase.
Following their impressive batting performance, New Zealand Women needed their bowlers to step up, and they did just that. The Kiwi bowlers capitalized on the advantages with no apparent dew and the ball moving both in the air and off the pitch. Their disciplined attack yielded quick wickets in the early stages, effectively tearing apart the Indian batting order. Young Eden Carson delivered an impressive performance, while the seasoned Lea Tahuhu claimed three wickets but it was Rosemary Mair who chipped in with a spectacular 4-fer. The Kiwi bowlers worked together effectively, thwarting any potential partnerships from flourishing. Their disciplined bowling was complemented by outstanding fielding, leaving no Indian batter able to score more than 20 runs. To make matters worse, no partnership managed to exceed 20 runs either.
This pressure to accelerate certainly got the better of them as Jemimah Rodrigues too fell early in her innings in an attempt to counterattack. As a result, with too many wickets down, India Women crawled through the mid overs and could only get to 63 at the halfway stage versus New Zealand Women's 72/2 at this very stage. They never found the momentum and the asking rate zoomed up massively and it was a matter of time before a procession of wickets which further depleted their hopes. And in the end, they were bowled out with an over to spare.
In stark contrast to their opponents, India Women's innings got off to a disastrous start. The Powerplay proved brutal as they lost their top three batters - Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, and Harmanpreet Kaur, all fell cheaply. With the score at a precarious 43/3 in 6 overs, India found themselves in deep trouble already. They then faced the dual task of steadying the ship with a stable partnership while also keeping the required run rate within manageable limits.
Talk about a clinical performance, and the White Ferns have delivered it sincerely! A huge win for New Zealand Women which will certainly help them to cement their position in Group A. To sum it up in brief, it was a disastrous day at the office for India Women, both with the ball and with the bat. In contrast, New Zealand Women delivered a polished and much-improved performance, especially after a streak of prior defeats before heading into the World Cup.

A single taken as well.

Drinks break! At the halfway mark in the chase, India Women are reeling at 63/4 and need 98 more runs to win. New Zealand Women have done an excellent job of chipping away at the wickets throughout the first 10 overs. Eden Carson has been prolific and should have had a third wicket but the White Ferns will want to put on the squeeze even more. India Women have Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma at the crease, both of whom can play a match-winning knock but it is going to be very tough given the required rate. let's see how the game eventually pans out.

Jess Kerr To Richa Ghosh
Aimed around the off-stump line and the length stays full, Richa Ghosh drives well but can't get it past the fielder at extra cover. Tidy stuff from Kerr, just the two singles off the over. India need 116 runs from 78 balls.

Jess Kerr To Richa Ghosh
Almost chipped it back to the bowler! Shaping in, on a length, on off, Richa Ghosh looks to work it across the line but the ball stops in the surface slightly. Gets a leading edge that goes past the outstretched left hand of Kerr and rolls in front of mid off.

Rosemary Mair To Richa Ghosh
Another loud appeal for LBW but this time, the umpire shakes her head in denial! Sophie Devine wants to have a check and goes for a review. Almost an identical line and length of the previous delivery, pitching outside off and nipping back in a long way, on a good length, Richa Ghosh is beaten for pace and is rooted inside the crease, getting cramped up for room. She tries to glance it off the pads towards the leg side but misses and plays over the line. The ball wears on the back pad. UltraEdge shows nothing while Ball Tracking saves Richa as it is going over the leg stump on the projection. New Zealand Women burn a review here, but they are right on the top at the moment.
Richa Ghosh is in next.

Rosemary Mair To Harmanpreet Kaur OUT!
OUT! INDIA WOMEN ARE 3 DOWN NOW! This has been a spectacular bowling performance by the Kiwis so far! A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Harmanpreet Kaur though challenges the on-field decision and goes for a review. This is bowled on a fuller length, shaping back in a touch as well, on the leg stump line, Harmanpreet Kaur walks a step across off and goes for a swipe across the line of the ball. It tails back into the batter and Kaur plays all over it, ends up wearing it on the front pad. On the UltraEdge now, it shows no bat involved and the Ball Tracking shows that the projection of the ball is clipping the leg stump on the umpire's call.

FOUR! Class written all over it! Rosemary Mair offers a lot of width, on a good length, Harmanpreet Kaur lets the ball arrive, goes on the back foot and opens her bat face at the last second and cuts it between point and backward point for a cracking boundary. She holds her pose for a bit and the Indian skipper is looking confident now.

Eden Carson To Smriti Mandhana OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! The run-rate pressure was creeping in and India Women have now lost both their openers inside the Powerplay! Eden Carson bowls from around the stumps, and lands a flighted one, fuller and around off, Smriti Mandhana tries to up the ante and gets on her dancing shoes to loft it over long off. She does go the pitch of the ball, but doesn't get the room and tries to overhit it and loses her shape a bit as well. As a result, she mistimes it in the air and the ball travels straight down the throat of Maddy Green stationed at long off.

TWO WIDES! Around the stumps, curving back a long way down leg, Smriti Mandhana leaves and the keeper too, fails to collect it cleanly and allows the ball to parry away to the left of short fine. The fielder moves to her left, stops the ball and throws back to the keeper. The stumps are dislodged but Harmanpreet Kaur is home by then.

A bit of nerves out there in the middle. A slight miscommunication between the wickets. Pitched too full, and around off, Smriti walks a few of steps down to the pitch and drives it to the right of mid off. Harmanpreet Kaur wants a quick single but is sent back by her partner. A direct hit at the bowler's end would have been interesting.

Eden Carson To Shafali Verma OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A massive, massive wicket for the Kiwis and they are all pumped up and why not! Eden Carson strikes gold on the very first ball. She attacks the stumps on a fuller length, it gets a bit of a variable bounce off the deck as well. Shafali Verma looks to work it across towards the leg side and closes her bat face too early in the process. Hence, a healthy leading edge is found and it is chipped straight back to the bowler. Eden Carson makes no mistake with a regulation catch. Shafali Verma departs in and is very disappointed with herself.
Eden Carson to operate from the other end.

A valiant effort there by Georgia Plimmer as she runs from deep mid-wicket and dives to her left to intercept the ball, but all in vain.
