Preview:
New Zealand women will take on Indian women in the fifth ODI of the series on Thursday. New Zealand have dominated the Indian team in this series. They won the fourth game by 63 runs after the match was reduced to 20 overs due to rain. New Zealand made 191 runs for the loss of five wickets as the top-order dominated the Indian bowlers. Only three Indian batters were able to make a double-digit score and India failed to chase down this massive total.
The Indian team is yet to win a game on this tour. After losing the only T20I game, the team lost four ODIs in a row. Indian batters, as well as bowlers, have struggled in this series and apart from a few no other player had a clue about the playing condition.
