India Women suffered a four-run loss to England in their last game, leaving their hope of making it to the semifinals hanging in the balance. They have now lost three games in a row and will need to return to winning ways or bow out of this competition. The Women in Blue had begun their journey in this tournament with a 59-run (DLS method) win over Sri Lanka, followed by an 88-run victory in their second game against Pakistan. Since their first two wins, they have been winless, sitting 4th on the points table with four points in five games. They are 4th based on a better net run rate, as New Zealand and Sri Lanka also have four points.

New Zealand have their last game against Pakistan called off with the points shared. They now have their destiny in their hand, knowing fully well that a win will give them the needed chance to fight for the top four. They have now had back-to-back games abandoned due to poor atmospheric conditions. They had started their journey in this competition losing by 89 runs to Australia before extending that loss to a six-wicket loss to South Africa. However, they secured their first win, a 100-run victory against Bangladesh, before their last two games were washed out by rain. They remained fifth on the point table with four points in five games.

India Women vs New Zealand Women Prediction
It is a must-win game for both sides in this game, and I expect them to give their all in all. If they do so, the game will see a high-scoring ending. Moreover, the last five matches between India Women and New Zealand Women averaged 523.4 runs. On the players' side, I think New Zealand's captain Sophie Devine will be a player to watch in this game. She's in outstanding form with 260 runs in three innings, and with the nature of this game as a must-win one, she will give her best for her nation.
