New Zealand Women vs India Women: Bowling Attack Is A Concern Going Into The World Cup, Says Skipper Mithali Raj
India captain Mithali Raj was frank in her admission that team's bowling is a huge concern going into the ICC Women's World Cup after the side's 63-run defeat in the fourth WODI against New Zealand on Tuesday. India are now 0-4 down in the five-match series and Mithali's bowling attack has failed to defend 270 and 279 in the second and third games. The team also failed to chase 276 in the opening game and a mammoth 192 in 20 overs in the fourth game.

4th ODI: Indian women suffer 63-run loss to New Zealand
cricket team's horror tour of New Zealand continued as the White Ferns demolished the visitors by 63 runs in a rain-curtailed fourth WODI on Tuesday to inch towards a clean sweep in the five-match series here. The game became a glorified 'T20' due to rain as Amelia Kerr stole the show with a 33-ball-68 which took New Zealand to 191 for 5. Amelia, one half of the famous Kerr sisters, then mopped up the tail with 3 for 30 as India managed only 128 before being all-out in 17.5 overs. Teenager Richa Ghosh's counter-attacking 52 off 29 balls was the only silver lining in an otherwise disastrous performance which has now led to five defeats on this tour including the one-off T20. The bowling performance of the Indians seemed to have nose-dived with each passing game and it was the worst on Tuesday where only Rajeshwari Gayakwad (4-0-26-1) looked the part.
