India vs New Zealand Highlights, Women’s World Cup 2022: NZ W register comprehensive 62-run win over IND W

India will next play West Indies on Saturday and it will be interesting to see whether Shafali comes back to the starting eleven. India lacked that aggression today and Shafali offers you nothing but aggression. That's all the action we have for you today. We will be back for the live coverage of India's next fixture against the West Indies!

With second win of the tournament, New Zealand have moved to the second spot in the points table. India, on the other hand, have fallen out of the top-four bracket to claim the fifth spot.

"It was a complete performance. We built partnerships throughout, Amelia Kerr and Amy Satterthwaite batted beautifully. The bowling was outstanding, just didn't give them anything at all," says Devine on New Zealand's impressive show.

"We needed one of the batters to bat deep. There was a lot of extra bounce under lights, nothing unplayable but we could have done better. The batting needs to get better," says Mithali on the side's performance.

New Zealand bowlers did a commendable job to pluck regular wickets but one can't ignore the lack of intent and aggression from the Indian batters. Harmanpreet produced some late fireworks but it was all but over at that point. 

Jensen takes another wicket to seal a big win for New Zealand. The White Ferns continue their winning momentum to defeat India by 62 runs.
