New Zealand has played unbeaten in the 5 match ODI series and is leading 3 wins against India. In the last match, the team chose to bowl first and were handed a target of 280 runs to chase. Batters Amelia Kerr and Amy Satterthwaite scored 59 and 67 runs each and were at their best performance as always. Lauren Down remained not out, earning 64 runs. Bowlers were at their finest, each gaining a wicket against India and not letting them build the target any higher. Rosemary Mair eliminated an important batter Sabbhineni Meghana. At the same time, Amelia Kerr was able to stop Shafali Verma from scoring any further. Bates and Amelia were great fielders participating in a total of 4 catch-outs. The White Ferns have been brilliant in the field and will be keen to continue dominating the Women in Blue.

Participating in the 5 match ODI series, India has been putting quite a lot of effort into the game but has unfortunately not been able to win a match over New Zealand. The last game was their chance to save the series but the game ended in their defeat by 3 wickets. Sabbhineni Meghana and Shafali Verma scored a total of 112 runs, including 16 fours. Deepti Sharma remained on the field, earning 69 runs and giving a further rise to the target. The bowlers worked equally hard but could not stop the White Ferns from chasing the target. Renuka Singh, Ekta Bisht, Deepti Sharma, and Sneh Rana picked 1 wicket each. Jhulan Goswami was striving after gaining 3 wickets, including Amy Satterthwaite. Even if India wins the next 2 games, New Zealand will remain in the lead. However, the team will definitely try to give a tough fight to level the score to a reduced margin.

India has been working hard and giving a tough time to the opponents. However, their efforts do not seem to be enough to gain control over New Zealand. Since the White Ferns are leading with 3 consecutive wins, they will likely succeed and feed their superiority.
