New Zealand's women's cricket team celebrated a landmark achievement by winning their first T20 World Cup title, raising expectations for future competitions. Key players like Amelia Kerr and captain Sophie Devine were pivotal for the White Ferns. In parallel, New Zealand's men's cricket team gained a significant lead over India at the end of Day 2 of the second Test in Pune, thanks to Mitchell Santner's exceptional bowling. The Indian batting lineup struggled, and former players criticized India's shot selection against New Zealand's spin tactics. The successes of both teams illustrate the growing strength of New Zealand cricket on the international stage.
