New Zealand women tour of India: India women vs New Zealand women second ODI in Ahmedabad on October 27, 2024.
After the disappointment of the first ODI, the New Zealand women should be reasonably happy with their effort with the bat in the second. Their score of 259 for nine may not be easy to chase down for India.

Skipper Sophie Devine led from the front. She more than made up for her bizarre run-out in the first game by playing a superb knock (79, 86b). She took over from the other all-time great Suzie Bates, who hit 58 off 70 balls and added 87 for the first wicket with Georgia Plimmer (41, 50b).
There was a fine knock by Maddy Green (42, 41b) after coming in at 139 for four. Radha Yadav was India’s most successful bowler (four for 69) but it was her brilliant fielding that caught the eye. Deepti Sharma bowled rather tidily though, taking two for 30 from 10 overs, while everyone else cost around or more than five-an-over.
