In a significant development, New Zealand Women have won the toss and opted to bat first in the second ODI of the ongoing series against India Women. The hosts' captain Harmanpreet Kaur makes her return after missing the first ODI of the series. Meanwhile, New Zealand's premier allrounder Amelia Kerr has been ruled out of the series due to a quadriceps injury. 

During the toss, New Zealand skipper Sophie Devine reckoned that they would bat first, considering the playing conditions in Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, Indian captain Harmanpreet revealed that Priya Mishra would play her debut match in a bid to strengthen the home team's combination.
