Women's U19 World Cup HIGHLIGHTS: India beat NZ by 8 wickets; reach final - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

PLIMMER, OUT!

Georgia Plimmer, after fighting it out for so long in the middle, has to finally walk back. Caught at deep fine leg off Archana Devi, who has her first wicket of the match.

NZ: 91/6 (16.5)

SHAFALI VERMA STRIKES

Shafali Verma applies the pressure in the first two overs and gets rewarded in her third. Kate Irwin has to walk back now as Plimmer (30*) continues to wage a lone battle.

NZ: 83/6 (15.1)

NZ: 83/5

15 overs gone by and NZ have accumulated 83 runs so far. With 5 overs left in the innings, how much more can they get?

NZ: 83/5 (15)

THIRD WICKET FOR CHOPRA

Parshavi Chopra continues her wicket taking form as she scalps Emma Irwin. Not the best of deliveries, but the batter pulls it straight to Hrishita Basu at midwicket.

NZ: 74/5 (13)

SHARP, OUT!

India once again strike just when NZ got a partnership going. A full toss from Parshavi Chopra and Izzy Sharp smashes it straight into the hands of Sonam Yadav at short mid-wicket. 

The NZ skipper could have deposited it anywhere, but finds a fielder to perfection.

NZ: 63/4 (10.1)

Drinks Break

New Zealand have slowly but surely consolidated their position in this match. They have two set batters at the crease with Plimmer and Sharp and would want them to continue for at least five more overs.

NZ: 63/3 (10)

First six of the match

NZ skipper Izzy Sharp steps down and hits Parshavi Chopra down the ground for a six, before surviving a stumping attempt later in the same over.

NZ: 57/3 (9)

GAZE, OUT!

Parshavi Chopra gets into the wicket column with her very first over. A flatter delivery from the leg-spinner and it kept low. That proved to be the undoing of Izzy Gaze, who had rocked back to pull it through the vacant square leg region. LBW.

NZ: 42/3 (7)
