India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma move things forward as India reach 63/4 at the halfway stage. The onus will be on Richa to finish the game from here, which at the moment looks as an uphill climb.

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: There was another LBW appeal against Richa Ghosh in the final powerplay over by Rosemary Mair but the umpire wasn't interested. New Zealand take a review but ball tracker showed the ball was missing the stumps. IND: 43/3 (6 overs)

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Harmanpreet Kaur has to take the long walk back to the pavilion as she is trapped LBW on 15(14) by Rosemary Mair. She had opted for a review but replay confirmed it to be an umpire's call, so India retain the review but lose their skipper. IND: 42/3 (5.4 overs)

Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur are batting in the middle as India reach 19/1 after 3 overs.

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Sophie Devine charges down the track and whacks Shreyanka Patil for a boundary, which gets her to a half-century. What an innings this has been from the New Zealand skipper. 11 runs come from the over as New Zealand pile 160/4 in 20 overs. Devine returns unbeaten on 57 off 36 balls.

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Renuka Thakur gets rid of Brooke Halliday for 16(12). She is caught by Smriti Mandhana at short cover. NZ: 145/4 (18.4 overs)

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Towards the end of 14th over something interesting happened. Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr take a single, following which Devine tries to steal one more run, catching her partner in surprise.

However, Kerr fails to complete the run and is run-out at the wicketkeeper's end. Right before she is about to cross the boundary ropes, she is stopped by an official. Harmanpreet Kaur is called by the umpires, who say the ball was already dead and she doesn't seem very happy with the decision. Meanwhile, Amol Muzumdar, the coach also gets involved as India appeal against the decision.

Smriti Mandhana is then seen asking Harmanpreet to continue with the game and accept the umpire's call, which by an Indian point of view seems absolute robbery.

The decision, however, doesn't cost India much as Amelia Kerr is dismissed by Renuka Thakur in the next over. She is caught at cover by Pooja Vastrakar on 13(22).

Renuka is then hammered for consecutive fours in the over as NZ reach 109-3 in 15 overs.

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Another example of terrible fielding as India miss out on a run-out opportunity. There was a mix-up between the two batters and a throw at the wicketkeeper's end could have proved crucial but India miss out on the opportunity.

Sophie Devine then hammers Asha Sobhana for a consecutive fours as New Zealand reach 93/2 after 13 overs.

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: An economical over by Asha Sobhana as just three runs come from it. NZ: 75/2 (11 overs)

Georgia Plimmer then departs in the next over bowled by Asha Sobhana. Plimmer is caught by Smriti Mandhana at long-on. She falls for 34(23).

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Arundhati Reddy, right-arm fast medium, is introduced in the attack. Georgia Plimmer gets a boundary after Renuka Thakur makes an error in the field. Balls later Richa Ghosh puts a catch down as Suzie Bates gets a reprieve on 19. The fielding must be testing Harmanpreet Kaur's nerves but all she does is try to lift India's mood.

That'll be the end of powerplay as NZ accumulate 55/0 in 6 overs.

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Excellent fielding by Jemimah Rodrigues in the deep. Twice she covers a lot of ground to save some crucial runs for India. Meanwhile, eight runs comes in the over by Deepti Sharma. NZ: 43-0

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Renuka Thakur continues from the other end. The second delivery is a bit length and Plimmer shuffles across the crease and attempts a scoop. She misses it but leaves Richa Ghosh blindsided as the ball rolls away for a four behind the wicket.

Six runs come from the over. NZ: 35/0 (4 overs)

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: India introduce spin as Deepti Sharma is introduce in the attack. She starts with a wide and Georgia Plimmer charges down in the next delivery. She connects it well and it beats Harmanpreet Kaur at mid-off and races away for a four.

Plimmer then charges down the track in the final delivery and does enough to send the ball over the fielder at long-on for a six. Had Smriti Mandhana been slightly behind it could have been a catch. NZ: 27/0 (3 overs)

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Renuka Thakur will share the new ball duties with Pooja Vastrakar. It's a slow surface and the ball is coming comfortably at the batter, forcing Richa Ghosh to come near the stumps.

Four runs come in the second over. NZ: 13/0 (2 overs)

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: Pooja Vastrakar leads the attack for India. Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer open the New Zealand innings.

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score

Harmanpreet Kaur - "We just want to go out there and play good cricket. All the players back themselves. It's the best team and the best team we have in this format. We have a balanced side. We have a long batting line-up as well. It's all about going out there and enjoying ourselves."

Sophie Devine - "We're going to bat first. I've been really happy about the way the team's gone about it's business. Results haven't gone our way but we're always learning. Looking to put our best foot forward in this one. It's going to be slower, there's still runs in it. Still opportunity to be attacking."

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: "It has cooled down slightly, breeze flowing across the ground might mean dew might not come in. 63m and 53m square boundaries, 73m down the ground. This is firm, lot of live grass. Should be moderate pace and bounce. There could be some spin later but if there's dew, that probably won't happen as well."

India W vs New Zealand W Live Score: The area of concern for India is the number three position and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has taken the onus on herself to fulfill the responsibility.
