CRICKET
India Women's team got off to a decent start in their second World Cup match against New Zealand.
India Women's cricket team kicked off their second ICC Women's World Cup match versus New Zealand in emphatic fashion. All-rounder Pooja Vastrakar displayed excellent athleticism to run-out New Zealand ace Suzie Bates with a one-handed throw.
After having defeated Pakistan in their opening World Cup fixture, India Women's cricket team were looking for another win against the White Ferns on Thursday.
The hosts of World Cup's current edition had tasted defeat in their opening game, going down to West Indies by 3 runs.
New Zealand's Women's team nonetheless would have been hoping to bounce back against India, after having defeated the Indian eves in the ODI series 4-1.
It was the Indian side, however, who had the early breakthrough at Seddon Park in Hamilton. India skipper Mithali Raj won the toss and she chose to bowl first.
The hosts were jolted with an early blow as Vastrakar inflicted an athletic run-out to sent Suzie Bates back to the dugout when she was batting at just 5 runs.
