Women In Blue will try to beat depleted White Ferns.

• The team needs to win the second ODI to maintain the three-match series and score points on the ICC Women’s Championship table.
• India, as the host, has no worries of qualification, but the Women in Blue should win the series against the T20 World Cup winner.
• Despite a good track, none of the batters reached fifty, indicating concern.
• Tejal Hasabnis and Saima Thakor contributed to an excellent Indian attack, with Tejal Hasabnis leading the team with 91 for four.
