Expansion
India’s second match in the Women’s World Cup 2022 is against New Zealand. Team India, who registered a big win against Pakistan in the first match, would like to win the second match in a row and progress in the path of semi-finals. However, it will not be easy for Team India. Before the start of this tournament, India had won only one match in the five-match ODI series against New Zealand, while they had to face defeat in four. In this match, India would like to improve their record against the Kiwi team.
So far 53 ODI matches have been played between these two teams. Of these, 20 matches have been won by India and 32 by New Zealand. There is a match tied. At the same time, there have been 12 matches between the two in the World Cup. India have won just two matches and tied one, while they have lost nine.
No change likely in Indian team
Indian captain Mithali Raj has already said that she will not tinker with her team too much. India defeated Pakistan by 107 runs in the first match. In such a situation, Mithali Raj would not want to make any changes in her team. India’s batsmen had a very disappointing performance in the previous match, but the bowlers contributed with the bat to give the team a big win. Big innings will be expected from captain Mithali and Harmanpreet in this match.
Kiwi team is back on the track of victory
After a close defeat against West Indies in the first match, New Zealand’s team is back on the winning track. In the second match, New Zealand beat Bangladesh by a huge margin of nine wickets. Now the Kiwi team would like to maintain the winning streak and they will also have the advantage of home ground. In such a situation, India will have to perform better than expected, only then Team India will be able to win this match.

Mithali Raj (captain), Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh (wk), Sneh Rana, Jhulan Goswami, Meghna Singh, Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gaikwad.
