Navi Mumbai, Oct. 22 -- India Women and New Zealand Women lock horns in a high-stakes ICC Women's World Cup 2025 clash at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in what could well decide a semifinal spot here tomorrow.
Both teams are tied on four points, but India have the edge with a net run rate of 0.526, compared to New Zealand's -0.245. A win for either side could tilt the pool standings dramatically.
India Women enter the contest on a rollercoaster ride. After a bright start with convincing wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan, they suffered narrow defeats in three matches, including a heartbreaker against England where Smriti Mandhana's 88 and Harmanpreet Kaur's 70 almost carried them home.
