Women’s T20 WC: New Zealand demolish India with all-round performance

In a disappointing start to their campaign at the Women’s T20I World Cup, Indian Women suffered a 58-run defeat against New Zealand Women on Friday at Dubai International Stadium. New Zealand Women displayed a blend of striking performance and skill to take down strong Indian team. 

Choosing to bat, New Zealand set a formidable target of 160 runs in 20 overs for the loss of four wickets, with skipper Sophie Devine playing a crucial innings of 57 unbeaten. Indian Women, on the other hand, failed to get going after their top-order crumbled like a pack of cards, ultimately leading to India’s disappointing collapse at just 102 runs, all out in 19 overs.

Indian Women faced a daunting task. From the outset, they struggled against New Zealand's disciplined bowling attack. Regular wickets fell, and the batting lineup faltered, unable to build any significant partnerships. There was no resistance from Indian batters as they found it difficult to settle and score runs.

This performance marked a disappointing start for India in the tournament, raising concerns about their batting depth. Meanwhile, for India, this match serves as a wake-up call. India would look to address the glaring issues in batting as they look to make their comeback.
