India Women Preview
India Women enter this contest against New Zealand Women playing on home soil at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai. It’s a crucial fixture for the hosts, who currently sit 4th on the points table with 4 points from 5 matches, having recorded 2 wins and 3 losses with a net run rate of +0.526. Their campaign has seen moments of brilliance mixed with narrow heartbreaks, leaving them needing a strong finish to secure a semi-final berth.
India Women started their World Cup campaign in style, defeating Sri Lanka Women by 59 runs (DLS method) in the opening match. They followed it up with another convincing performance, outclassing Pakistan Women by 88 runs. India played some excellent cricket in patches, but close games have slipped away — none more so than the recent heartbreaking loss against England. England Women edged past India Women by just four runs in a thrilling encounter at Indore, finishing on 288 for 8 after a stellar 109 from Heather Knight. India responded fiercely, with Smriti Mandhana’s 88 and Harmanpreet Kaur’s 70 anchoring the chase, but could not quite close the deficit and ended on 284 for 6.
The match proved to be a heartbreaking one for India, as their semi-final hopes took a serious blow. Despite the strong batting display, crucial late wickets and England’s calm under pressure swung the result the other way—setting up a dramatic finish to the pool stage of the tournament.
With the ball, Deepti Sharma has been India’s standout performer, taking 13 wickets in 5 innings at an average of 19.69, providing crucial breakthroughs and maintaining control in the middle overs. India’s batting charge in the tournament has been led by Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal, who have provided consistency at the top. Mandhana has scored 222 runs in 5 innings at an average of 44.40 and a strike rate of 94.87, including two half-centuries and a top score of 88. Youngster Pratika Rawal has impressed with 186 runs at 37.20. India might bring back Jamiamah Rodrigues for this game.
In recent head-to-head contests, India have maintained a competitive edge over New Zealand. In the last five encounters between the two sides, India Women hold a 3–2 edge over New Zealand Women. India clinched convincing wins by 6 wickets twice and by 59 runs once. These are some good stats for hosts, India Women, as they look to secure a place in the semi-final berth in a must-win game against NZ Women.

New Zealand Women Preview
New Zealand Women come into this crucial encounter at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, against a hurt Indian Women side. Sitting 5th on the points table with 4 points from 5 matches and a net run rate of –0.245. Like hosts, the New Zealand Women are under pressure to deliver a strong result to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
Their journey so far in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 has been inconsistent. New Zealand Women have endured a mixed campaign so far, with one win, two losses, and two no-results from their five matches. Their only victory came against Bangladesh by 100 runs, while defeats to Australia and South Africa hurt their early momentum. Rain interruptions have further hampered progress, leaving them fifth in the standings. However, in the rain-affected game, New Zealand Women conceded 258 runs against a relatively weaker Sri Lankan side.
New Zealand Women’s batting has been led by Sophie Devine, who has amassed 260 runs in 5 innings at an average of 86.66 and a strike rate of 88.13, including a top score of 112. Supporting her is Brooke Halliday, who has contributed 142 runs at 47.33 with steady middle-order consistency. In the bowling department, Lea Tahuhu has been exceptional, taking 9 wickets in 4 matches at a brilliant average of 12.33 and best figures of 3/22. Jess Kerr follows closely with 8 wickets in 5 games at 21.12, proving crucial with both control and breakthroughs.
In the last five head-to-head meetings, New Zealand trail India 3–2, with both sides trading dominant wins. New Zealand Women will need their senior players to step up if they are to challenge India in their own conditions. New Zealand Women possess the depth and determination to push India hard and keep their semi-final ambitions alive.
