Women's World Cup: India Beat New Zealand By 53 Runs To Seal Semis Spot
ODI World Cup: Fighting half-centuries by Brooke Halliday and Isabella Gaze went in vain as New Zealand succumbed to a superior batting and bowling effort by India to go down by 53 runs via DLS Method in a rain-hit Match 24 of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup here on Thursday. The win sealed a place in the semifinals for the hosts.
Halliday struck an 84-ball 81 while Gaze played a cameo as New Zealand, chasing a revised target of 325 in 44 overs, managed to reach 271/8 after India rode on contrasting centuries by Smriti Mandhana (109 off 95 balls) and Pratika Rawal (122 from 134) and a blazing unbeaten 76 off 55 balls by Jemimah Rodrigues to post 340/3 in 49 overs.
The match was disrupted twice by brief spells of rain, the first one after the 48th over in India's innings, resulting in a one-hour-long break due to wet patches in the outfield and the match was reduced to 49 overs. There was another interruption during the 10-minute mid-innings break, and the match was further reduced to 44-overs-a-side, and New Zealand was set a revised target of 325.
