The Indian women’s cricket team, already out of the race to win the series, will look to make a comeback in the fourth ODI against New Zealand on Tuesday. The team will try to break the losing streak in this tour by eliminating the shortcomings of bowling and fielding in this match. India suffered a three-wicket loss to hosts New Zealand in the third match, losing the five-match ODI series. This is the Indian team’s fourth loss in the limited overs series in the last 12 months. Before, he had to face defeats against South Africa, England and Australia.

In the current New Zealand era, bowlers and outfielders performed disappointingly in ODIs if batsmen did not play in the single T20. With this, the New Zealand team easily achieved great goals. Now that the World Cup is ahead, the team led by Mithali Raj will have to overcome their weaknesses in the next two games. The team has been strengthened by the return of starter Smriti Mandhana and fast pitcher Meghna Singh. Only experienced pacemaker Jhulan Goswami could do well in the bowling department. He shook New Zealand’s top order by taking three wickets in the third ODI, but due to a lack of support from the other end, the Kiwi team was able to bounce back from these setbacks. Following Meghna’s return, India will come in with a strong bowling attack in the next two matches. He had tested Pooja Vastrakar, Simran Bahadur and Renuka Singh in the first three matches.

Among the spinners, Deepti Sharma has done well with seven wickets so far, but Poonam Yadav and Rajeshwari Gaikwad need to be consistent in their performance. Indian batting looks good. Sabineni Meghna made the most of the opportunity in Mandhana’s absence, scoring 49 and 61 runs in the last two ODIs, while Shefali Verma was back on form in match three with 51 of 57 balls. After Mandhana’s return, it will be interesting to see what combination Mithali comes up with in the next two games, especially when Harmanpreet Kaur struggles to score runs.

As far as New Zealand is concerned, the team’s morale has been lifted by scoring great goals in the last two games, but they will try to improve their bowling. For him, Amelia Kerr (219) and Suzy Bates (127) have done well at the top of the list. Amy Sattherwaite (122) has done well in the middle order. Jess Kerr and Sophie Devine have been their most successful bowlers in bowling but despite this, India managed to score big. New Zealand will try to stop the Indian batsmen in the next two games.

The teams are the following:

Bharatha: Sabineni Meghna, Shefali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, Mithali Raj (Captain), Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh (WK), Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Simran Bahadur, Poonam Yadav, Rajeshwari Gaikwad, Sneh Rana, Meghna Singh, Tania Bhatia, Renuka Singh , Smriti Mandhana, Jhulan Goswami.
