2nd ODI: Captain Harmanpreet Returns, Priya Handed Debut As NZ Elect To Bat First
Narendra Modi Stadium: Harmanpreet Kaur is back to captain India while leg-spinner Priya Mishra was handed an international debut as New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first in the second women’s ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
India are leading the three-match series 1-0 after winning the series opener by 59 runs, where debutants Tejal Hasabnis and Saima Thakor impressed with bat and ball respectively. Harmanpreet is back after missing the first game due to a niggle, and replaced Dayalan Hemalatha in the playing eleven for Sunday’s match.
Priya, the young leg-spinner from Delhi, came in for Renuka Singh Thakur. The youngster, who was with the Gujarat Giants’ team in this year's Women’s Premier League (WPL), had picked a sensational 5-14 to help India A beat Australia A in the third 50-over game of the multi-format tour in August.
