AHMEDABAD: India Women's bowling and fielding more than made up for their average batting display against New Zealand Women in the first ODI, but the batters will be looking to convert their starts as the hosts look to wrap up the series when the two teams clash in the second ODI here in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Opener Smriti Mandhana will be looking to get back to form while her batting partner Shafali Verma would look to convert a quickfire start into a big knock. The likes of Yastika Bhatia, Dayalan Hemalatha, Jemimah Rodrigues, Tejal Hasabnis all got starts in the opening encounter but failure to make it count meant the hosts ended up with a middling total.
