1st ODI: India Women's Team Bowled Out For 227 As Kerr Sisters Shine For NZ In Series Opener
After opting to bat first, India's poor start was marked by the early dismissal of stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana (5). Shafali Verma (33) briefly ignited hopes with an attacking approach, taking on the New Zealand pacers, but her downfall came soon, courtesy of Carson's spin. Dayalan Hemalatha followed shortly after, further denting India’s hopes of a big total.
Yastika Bhatia, making her return to the side, injected some positivity into India’s innings with a composed (37), but she too was undone by Amelia Kerr. Debutant Tejal Hasabnis and Jemimah Rodrigues then steadied the ship, adding 61 runs for the fifth wicket. Hasabnis impressed in her first outing, crafting a composed (42) before falling to Melie Kerr, while Bates ended Rodrigues’ (35) promising stay.
