NZ-W vs IN-W Live Cricket Score

2.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Pooja Vastrakar comes out with her golden arm and hands India an early breakthrough. Suzie Bates goes back to the pavilion without troubling the score much. A length ball, on off. Sophie Devine pushes it to covers with soft hands. Earlier, it looked as if it was an easy single, but it loks like Suzie Bates was somehow a little late to take off and Pooja Vastrakar's direct hit made a difference in the end. 9/1

11 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Pooja Vastrakar picks up her first wicket in the World Cup and it is a priced wicket of the White Ferns skipper. India Women well on top at the moment. Back of a length, around off. Sophie Devine is left with little room, as she tries to cut it away on the back foot. The ball though flies off the outside edge and goes to the right of the keeper. Richa Ghosh moves to that side and pouches the ball safely. 54/2

22 OUT! LBW! Rajeshwari Gayakwad picks up a crucial wicket and send back a set-batter in Amelia Kerr. It is looped up, around off. Amelia Kerr gets on one knee and goes for the sweep shot but misses it completely. Rajeshwari Gayakwad appeals and the umpire raises the dreaded finger. Amelia Kerr has a chat with her partner and takes it upstairs. Although it does not work in her favour and she has to head back to the dugout. Maddy Green is the new batter in. 121/3

42.2 OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder and Raj makes no mistake. Big wicket, it is the well set Amy who falls with over 7 overs to go. This could well make a difference of 20 runs to the final total. It is full and on middle, Amy whips it but straight to mid-wicket. Easy catch. 224/5

33.1 OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Sharma gets the wicket and it is a timely one. The two would have probably looked to up the ante. Green though was looking to do that. She steps out and gets a little too close to the pitch of the ball. She lifts but straight to Smriti Mandhana who takes a good catch at long on. So whenever the hosts have seemed like taking the game away, India always manage to get a wicket. 175/4

49.1 OUT! TIMBER! Jhulan Goswami strikes in the final over of the innings and picks up her first wicket. Goswami serves it full and on the stumps. Katey Martin tries to heave it away but misses. The ball goes through to rattle the stumps. 255/9

45.1 OUT! TIMBER! New Zealand are losing their way now. The runs have dried up and that pressure has gotten to Jensen who now loses her off pole. Lovely delivery. Gives it air, lands it full and on off. Jensen looks to heave it across the line but misses and the off pole is hit. 233/6

46.2 OUT! TIMBER! Pooja continues to enjoy her time in this World Cup. She picks up her third wicket. That is a corker of a yorker. On middle, Lea fails to get her bat down in time and the stumps are hit. 270 now totally depends on Martin. 240/7

46.3 OUT! TWO IN TWO FOR POOJA! She has 4 and is on a hat-trick. This is death bowling at its best. Another yorker, the line is a little on the leg. Kerr looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad and deflects onto the stumps. India now have a chance to keep the Kiwis to under 260. 240/8

19.1 OUT! TAKEN! Yastika Bhatia now has to walk back! India now in deeper trouble! Lea Tahuhu is having a ball with the ball out there. She had Raj dropped in the last over in the cover region but this time gets Yastika Bhatia caught in that same region. A slower one on off, this one holds in the surface too. Yastika Bhatia is early in the stroke. She ends up chipping it to covers where Frances Mackay makes no mistake this time. 211 more needed. 50/3

5.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Jess Kerr draws the first blood. Jess Kerr comes 'round the wicket and serves a full-length ball, on off. The dots balls got the better of Smriti Mandhana. She tries to clear the in-field with a lofted shot but ends up chipping it straight to Suzie Bates who makes no mistake. New Zealand Women have got the early wicket that they were after. 10/1

10 OUT! LBW! What a ripper of a delivery by Lea Tahuhu to end her first over. She also send back Deepti Sharma on a timid score. A length ball, pitching just outside off but comes in sharply. Deepti Sharma stays inside the crease and tries to flick it away but misses it completely. She gets pinged on her pads. Lea Tahuhu appeals but the umpire is unmoved. Lea Tahuhu is certain she got the better of the batter this time and convinces her skipper to take a review. Sophie Devine goes with the bowler and takes a review. The UltraEdge confirms no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking later shows three reds and Deepti Sharma trudges back to the pavilion. 26/2

29.4 OUT! STUMPED! What is this shot by Mithali Raj? She goes back in an ugly way. It is fuller and outside off. Mithali Raj comes down the track and tries to whip it across the line but misses. Katey Martin gathers the ball and is very quick to take the bails off. Mithali Raj is gutted by this effort. She shakes her head and trudges back to the pavilion. 97/4

44 OUT! CAUGHT! Amelia Kerr picks up her third wicket and this should be the final nail in the coffin. Harmanpreet Kaur valiant knock comes to an end. Fuller, outside off. Harmanpreet Kaur tries to hunt for the biggie. She goes hard after it but ends up lofting it to long off. Sophie Devine takes the simplest of catches. 178/8

29.5 OUT! Two in two for Amelia Kerr and Richa Ghosh walks back for a golden duck! They needed Richa Ghosh to play a cameo here, they needed her to score some quick fire runs but she just misreads the length. The googly, it is slightly fuller and it lands outside off. Richa Ghosh looks to cut by going back, this one spins back in, sneaks under the bat and hits the off pole. The game just seems out of sight now for India. A Harmanpreet Kaur special will be needed if they are to have a chance. 97/5

36.4 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust and Lea Tahuhu has another one! A nasty delivery. Short and angling into the body. Sneh Rana initially looks to sway out of the way but then looks to guide it down to third man. It goes off the glove and Katey Martin makes no mistake behind the stumps. 127/6

40.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Hannah Rowe send back Pooja Vastrakar on a low score. This was bound to happen. India Women slip further. Back of a length, on off. Pooja Vastrakar comes down the track and looks to heave it away across the line. The ball takes the top-edge and flies towards mid off. Sophie Devine moves to her right and grabs the ball safely. Jhulan Goswami is the new batter in. 143/7

46.3 OUT! TOP NUT! A yorker right on the leg pole. Jhulan Goswami looks to jam it out but misses and is cleaned up. New Zealand now only a wicket away. 198/9

46.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Two in two for Hayley Jensen and that is the end of the game! New Zealand Women WIN BY 62 RUNS! This is a length ball outside off, Rajeshwari Gayakwad looks to defend but this goes off the outside edge and it is taken by Katey Martin behind the sticks. A comprehensive win for the hosts. 198/10
