It won't be easy, but who said the Women in Blue want it that way?
While India is still settling in with their combination of the squad, the New Zealand side is as strong and as sorted as ever.
Coming into this WODI match, the Kiwis will obviously enjoy the upper hand given their head to head record and having thrashed India 4-1 in the series leading up to the World Cup.
However, the room for surprises are galore and the Women in Blue will have made copious notes from that 4-1 series where they managed to win the final match to save face and avoid a whitewash. So, one can never tell!
