Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium has been good for batting. But it has been a tad bit slow in this series. The batters have struggled to play their shots, especially in the second innings. Batting first looks to be the ideal thing to do on this track.
Players to look out for in IN-W vs NZ-W
Top Batting Perfomers
Jemimah Rodrigues (IND)
The Indian batter looked in a good touch in the first ODI. Even though, Jemimah Rodrigues failed to continue the form in the next game, her ability to play spin makes her a crucial batter for the home team in this game.
Sophie Devine (NZ)
The New Zealand skipper did not have the ideal start with the bat in the series. However, Sophie Devine maintained her composure and scored a well compiled 79 off 86 deliveries in the second match. She has the form and momentum with her and could be the best batter for New Zealand in the games.
Top bowling performers
Radha Yadav (IND)
The left-arm spinner has so far been the best bowler for the home team. Radha Yadav is expected to get a bit of assistance from the track at the Narendera Modi Stadium and hence is expected to be the top performer with the ball for her team in this game.
Jess Kerr (NZ)
The young Kiwi medium-pacer has found good rhythm in the first two matches. Jess Kerr is picking up wickets consistently and could be the top performer with the ball for New Zealand women in this game.
Today's Match Prediction: IN-W vs NZ-W
If India bat first
The track at the Narendra Modi Stadium has been good for batting generally in the first innings. It has slowed down with the progress of the game. If India bat first and their batters are able to post around 240, then their spinners and can restrict the Kiwi batters sealing the series for the home team.
If New Zealand bat first
New Zealand batting first in the second game turned out to be a prime factor behind their comeback in the series. With experienced and composed batters at the top like Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine, they can easily go past the 240 mark while batting first. With bowlers like Eden Carson, Jess Kerr and Fran Jonas in the side, they could easily restrict India below that.
