India women tour of New Zealand: ODI series dates rescheduled to facilitate more time between matches

India women tour of New Zealand: The dates of the first 3 ODIs of a match-series have been pushed back by a day to accommodate more time between games. India play a lone T20I and 5 ODIs in New Zealand in February.

The ODI series between India women and New Zealand in New Zealand has seen a minor change in schedule as the host board is looking to allow more time in between games for the two sides.

The New Zealand Cricket announced a revised schedule for the ODI series, according to which the first ODI will be played on February 12, a day later than originally scheduled.

The second ODI, which was slated to be played on February 14, has also been pushed a day back and is now scheduled for February 15, while the third ODI is now slated for February 18, rather than February 16.

There is no change in the dates of the final two matches which will be played on February 22 and 24.

The two teams will begin their limited-overs series with a T20I on February 9 following which there will be 5 ODIs, which is crucial ahead of the 50-over Women's World Cup, starting in March in New Zealand.

All the matches were moved to John Davies Oval in Queenstown last month in order to limit travelling and reduce the chances of a Covid-19 outbreak.

With the teams not having to travel, the NZC has rescheduled fixtures to give the two sides more time between each match.
