India vs New Zealand: Toss, Teams Announced

India Women are playing New Zealand Women in a must‑win World Cup group match at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Oct. 23, with Australia, England and South Africa already qualified for the semifinals. Sophie Devine won the toss and New Zealand elected to bowl, handing the new ball to Rosemary Mair. India have made changes to their XI, recalling Jemimah Rodrigues and opening with Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal (Amanjot Kaur omitted). A victory would confirm India as the fourth semifinalist while a loss would leave their progress dependent on other results. India arrive under pressure after three straight defeats and must address recurring issues in batting depth, fielding and death bowling to keep their campaign alive.
