India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI - Lauren Down ensures series win for White Ferns - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog
50* for Shafali Verma!
Just the second of her ODI career and this has been a very well calculated half century for Shafali Verma. Supported Meghana brilliantly when she was going all guns blazing and seems to have taken the anchor role now with occasional boundaries.
IND - 129/1 (18)
IND - 126/1 (17)
Frances Mackay summoned for some off-spin and she starts well with just three off her first over.
IND 123/1 (16)
Yastika Bhatia gets into action with just the second delivery she faces - a short one from Kerr and she rocks back to pull it towards mid wicket for a boundary.
IND - 116/1 (15)
The White Ferns have managed to put a slight hold on the Indians, but they continue to motor along at 7.73 runs per over.
Shafali is struggling
Some injury concerns for Shafali Verma and she has taken to the old mantra, "Stand and Deliver." She lofts Amelia Kerr twice down the ground and has a wry simle on her face.
IND - 110/1 (14)
New Zealand STRIKEESS!
A brilliant over from Rosemary Mair as she sends Meghana out with a short ball. Four dots to start off the over before Shafali Verma swings in desperation, only to be dropped by a running wicketkeeper.
India steal a single - but that proves to be a doom, as Meghana is strangled down the leg with a bouncer.
IND 100/1 (13)
IND - 99/0 (12)
The young leggie - Amelia Kerr, comes into the attack, but the Indians milk her around for singles rather easily.
IND - 94/0 (11)
Just short of the century opening partnership are Shafali and Meghana now. Amidst all the Meghana flamboyance, Shafali has done well to keep her company.
