Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur\u2019s 69 highlighted India\u2019s comprehensive effort in their four-wicket victory via the DLS method over New Zealand in the second and final warm-up match on Saturday, ahead of the women\u2019s ODI World Cup.<\/p>\n
India will face tournament co-hosts Sri Lanka in their first match on September 30.<\/p>\n
The rain-affected 42-overs per-side contest saw India outplay New Zealand in all departments, bouncing back from their heavy loss to England in the first warm-up match.<\/p>\n
Chasing a revised target of 237 after New Zealand posted 232\/8, India comfortably reached the target with 10 deliveries and four wickets remaining.<\/p>\n
Harmanpreet was in fine form, scoring 69 off 86 balls with eight fours. She shared a crucial 132-run partnership for the third wicket with Harleen Deol, who scored 74 off 79 balls with 10 fours before retiring out.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s openers Pratika Rawal (15) and Uma Chetry (38) set the foundation with a 54-run stand.<\/p>\n
Earlier, New Zealand skipper Sophie Devine scored a run-a-ball 54 with nine fours, while Maddy Green contributed an unbeaten 49 to help the Kiwis reach 232 for eight.<\/p>\n
Pacer Kranti Goud put New Zealand in trouble at 38 for two in the eighth over, but a 91-run partnership between Amelia Kerr (40) and Devine stabilized the innings.<\/p>\n
Both Kerr and Devine were dismissed in quick succession, but Green, who hit four fours and a six, and Isabella Gaze, who scored 21 not out with three fours, provided strong support.<\/p>\n
For India, Shree Charani was the standout bowler with 3\/49, while Goud and Arundhati Reddy took two wickets each.<\/p>\n
Brief scores:<\/strong> New Zealand Women 232\/8 in 42 overs (Amelia Kerr 40, Sophie Devine 54, Maddy Green 49 not out; Shree Charani 3\/53)<\/p>\nIndia Women 237\/6 in 40.2 overs (Uma Chetry 38, Harleen Deol 74 retired out, Harmanpreet Kaur 69; Bree Illing 2\/34)<\/p>\n
