India vs New Zealand LIVE: Time for the national anthems

The two teams are out in the middle and it is time for the national anthems. We are minutes away from the start of the game that holds huge significance for both India and New Zealand.

India vs New Zealand: What Harmanpreet Kaur said

"The pitch is looking really good and I think we have got a great opportunity, today we have added extra batters. So I think it's a great opportunity to set a decent total on the board. Jemimah is in for Amanjot. It was a little disappointing for all of us because we have been playing good cricket but unfortunately we were not able to get the result. But today is a very important game and we all want to enjoy this moment and play good cricket. We are getting starts but unfortunately we are able to make it big. But today is a great opportunity and we are looking for everyone to do well for the team."

India vs New Zealand: India playing XI

Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh(w), Sneh Rana, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur

India vs New Zealand: What Sophie Devine said at the toss

"We are going to have a bowl first today. The surface won't change much and hopefully it can get better under lights, dew will also come in. We have been training exceptionally hard and a couple of extra sessions won't change much. This is the moment all cricketers want to be playing, pressure game, playing India in India."

India vs New Zealand: NZ playing XI

Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine(c), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Isabella Gaze(w), Jess Kerr, Rosemary Mair, Lea Tahuhu, Eden Carson

India vs New Zealand LIVE: Must-win clash for India

India can become the fourth team to book the semifinal berth if they get the better of New Zealand at the DY Patil Stadium. But any more errors like in each of their previous three outings will leave India dependent on other scenarios. If India lose to New Zealand, they will need England to beat the White Ferns and then must also win their final group league match against Bangladesh to make the cut.

India vs New Zealand LIVE: India's major concern

The biggest concern for India will be the fact that they lost all three matches in the competition from winning positions. They had South Africa struggling at 142/6 but failed to stop them from competing the run chase. Against Australia, even a mammoth total of 330 runs proved to be inadequate. In the last game, they once again looked on course to victory but lost their way completely in the chase against England.

India vs New Zealand: Hello and welcome

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Women's World Cup 2025 encounter between India and New Zealand. Following their losses against Australia and England, this is an extremely important match for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co.
