An allround effort helped India beat Pakistan by 107 runs in their Women's World Cup opener. But the match exposed some chinks which Mithali Raj and her team will have to overcome to win their second outing against hosts New Zealand on Thursday.
New Zealand will go into the contest with a psychological advantage against India, with the odds stacked heavily against the latter. On 12 occasions the two teams have faced each other in the ODI showpiece event, India have won just two matches and one ended in a tie. Recently, New Zealand defeated India 4-1 in an ODI series.
