India W to win the match, 1.30
New Zealand Women are visiting India for three one-day international games at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujrat, India. The first game of this new series will be played on 24th October 2024. Let's peek at this contest's match prediction, betting tips, and pitch report.
Indian Women have played against New Zealand Women on seventeen occasions in the one-day international format. The New Zealand Women have a clear 11-7 edge.
This game and the entire series between New Zealand Women and Indian Women will be available on TV through Sports18. Indian cricket enthusiasts can also watch the game using the live streaming mode on the JioCinema website and app.
The host of this series, India, did not have a perfect outing at the recently concluded T20I World Cup for Women. They were placed in Group A and clashed with the New Zealand Women in their first game of the competition.
They had to endure an unexpected defeat as the Indian batting collapsed under pressure and could not reach the target. This loss also resulted in a loss in confidence, which might affect their performance in this series. 2024 has been an up-and-down year for the Women in Blue.
Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. beat South Africa 3-0 in a June home series. But they had to suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of the Aussie Women at home in December-January. This series might be a terrific opportunity for the Indian women to stage a comeback at the international level in ODI cricket.
Indian Women will have to face three absentees. Richa Ghosh, Pooja Vastrakar, and Asha Sobhana. The latter two are still recovering from injuries.
New Zealand Women will enter this contest after three losses against England in the ODI format. However, they recently won the T20I World Cup in the UAE. In the final, they beat South African women and picked up their country's first-ever World Cup trophy in cricket.
New Zealand Women have many quality players in all white-ball cricket formats. For this series, they have retained several experienced players while giving the newcomers a chance.
The wicket-keeper batter Polly Inglis has been rewarded a call to the Kiwi team for this series. Lauren Down has also been included in the 15-member squad after her return from maternity leave in July. Adding these two players has been the only change to the team that won the T20I World Cup.
They have decided to rest the quick Rosemary Mair and have dropped Leigh Kasperek. All the top Kiwi players who provided the World Cup victory, such as Sophie Devine, Lea Tahuhu, and Suzie Bates, have been retained.
Four women's ODI games have been played at the Ahmedabad venue. The teams batting first have won three games, while the team chasing a target has won just a single game. Although this does not indicate an advantage for the skippers, it might be better to bat first here and get the big score on the board.
The boundaries at this venue are slightly bigger than usual. The surface will assist everyone. Batters can take advantage of the true pace and bounce to play their strokes earlier, and the spinners can come into their own in the later stages of the contest with a worn-out pitch.
The weather during this contest is likely to be hot and hazy. The temperature at the ground will be close to 37 degrees. The relative humidity during the game will be close to 30%, so the overall conditions will be dry. There is no chance of getting showers or cloud cover in the afternoon.
New Zealand Women appear to be favorites for this series opening game. They have won four out of their last five games against Indian women. However, the Indian Women have a good squad despite the reversal in the T20I World Cup played earlier. They are also playing at home and are better aware of the conditions. All in all, we reckon India Women to win this contest.
Bet on India Women to win this contest.
