Preview:
New Zealand Women will take on India Women in the 5th and final ODI of the series. New Zealand Women are all over India Women and leading the series 4-0. In a rain-marred game, they registered 63 runs win in the 4th ODI. Amelia Kerr again stepped up to the occasion and scored her 2nd half-century of the series and even did incredible stuff with the ball. With the kind of form New Zealand Women are in, they are all set to claim the series 5-0.
India Women, on the other hand, fell into the trap again and lost the 4th ODI by 63 runs. They are yet to win a game on this tour. Bowling seems to be an issue for them as they failed again to contain the runs in this series. They will be playing to avoid the whitewash on Thursday.
