The Indian women's team, batting first against New Zealand in the 2nd ODI on Tuesday, scored 270/6. Newcomer Sabbhineni Meghana missed her maiden ODI half-century by one run despite a great start. Mithali Raj and Richa Ghosh then came together to revive the innings with a 108-run partnership. This was India's highest score vs NZ in women's ODIs.
However, a 119 not out from New Zealand's Amelia Kerr led the White Ferns to their second victory of the series against India.

Will Smriti Mandhana and other first-choice players play today?
The big question is on opener Smriti Mandhana and seamers Renuka Singh Thakur and Meghana Singh. They were under an extended MIQ and missed the one-off T20I and the first ODI.
