India Women vs New Zealand, IND-W vs NZ-W, Today Match Prediction 29 October 2024

IND-W vs NZW Match Prediction & Analysis

We are all set for a thrilling end to the three-match series, with the two teams level at 1-1 after the first two games. India Women suffered a 76-run loss in the last game to concede the lead to New Zealand Women. Poor bowling and batting from the Indians led to their loss, and the hosts will look to recover from that. The Kiwis will be happy with their form and aim to build on the momentum.  

The Indian team has done well in Ahmedabad in the past. They have lost only once in the last five games the side has played. They have a strong batting lineup and shall look to take advantage of the conditions that suit their spin attack. The Kiwis are in their prime form, but the team doesn't have a great record in recent ODIs. Both teams have high stakes, and we expect a thrilling game.

HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

India Women Preview

Harmanpreet Kaur will feel let down by her players in the last game. The batters and bowlers had a poor day at the office in the last game, and the team lost by a big margin. The side has struggled with its consistency in recent months. Their pride is at stake, and Kaur would like her players to mount a strong comeback and win this series.  

Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana are struggling with consistency, and the team expects a better show from them at the top. The middle order isn't setting up big partnerships, and the trio of Yastika Bhatia, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Jemimah Rodrigue must do well. Deepti Sharma and Tejal Hasabnis will look to add runs in the lower middle order and put the team in a strong position.  

The bowling attack must stand tall and use the home advantage to win this game. Saima Thakor and Arundhati Reddy must strike early and put the Kiwis under pressure. Radha Yadav has been the best bowler in this series, and her spell will be crucial to the team's fortunes. Deepti Sharma and Priya Mishra must do well in the ing role for the team's victory. 

India Women Predicted Playing XI:

Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Jemimah Rodrigues, Tejal Hasabnis, Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Saima Thakor, Priya Mishra

New Zealand Preview

Sophie Devine's team will be confident after their strong comeback in the last game. The team struggled in the first game and performed clinically in the last contest with the bat and the ball. They have put the hosts under pressure, and Devine would like to take advantage of that with a strong show.  

Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer set up an 87-run stand in the last game, and the pair must deliver a similar start. Devine's match-winning knock will add to her confidence, and she must add runs in the middle order with Lauren Down and Brooke Halliday. Maddy Green and Isabella Gaze add to the team's batting firepower in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack has been done well in both games, and the players will feel confident. Jess Kerr and Lea Tahuhu shared 5 wickets between them, and they will look to rock India's top order with a good show. Fran Jonas and Sophie Devine must deliver a strong show in the middle overs. Eden Carson, Devine, and Suzie Bates strengthen this attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Ahmedabad will be clear, and we expect a good batting surface. There will be a bit of slowness, creating doubt in batters' minds. These are ideal bowling conditions for the spinners. The average first-inning score at this venue is 220 runs. The side batting first will be happy to have 260 on the board.

IND-W vs NZW Pitch Report

Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, offers something for the batters and bowlers. The wicket can surprise batters as the slowness makes the ball stop on them. Fast bowlers don't have much going for them on this track. The ball turns sharply, making it a good track for the spinners.

Toss: To Bat

In the last two games, we have seen big wins for the teams that have batted first. The wicket was good to bat on in the first innings, and the character was changed in the second half. The team winning the toss won't hesitate to bat first.
