3rd ODI: India Women Need To Resolve Batting Vulnerabilities To Seal Series Against New Zealand
India will be hoping to resolve their batting brittleness in their quest to win the third and final women's ODI and seal the series against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. It was clear from the first match, which the hosts won by 59 runs through a fine effort by the bowlers, that India's batting is not in top shape, and the second one-dayer underscored that reality. India's batting went a notch down on Friday as they were bundled out for 183 while chasing 260.
"Overconfident", Can Neither Play Spin Nor Pace: Ex Pakistan Star Tears Into Team India
Criticism continues to be thrown at Team India's face from all corners after the defeats in the first two Tests against New Zealand. In what was the first home Test series defeat for Rohit Sharma and his men in 12 years, the batting unit's failure has been highlihted as the biggest contributing factor. Even former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali tore into the Indian team, saying the players looked overconfident against the Kiwis but didn't manage to play either spin or pace.
Rohit Sharma Told To Leave Out Jasprit Bumrah For Mumbai Test, Dinesh Karthik Explains Reason
As the Indian cricket team stares at a whitewash against New Zealand, having already lost 2 matches of the series, captain Rohit Sharma has been sent a bold message to eave out Jasprit Bumrah. Arguably the finest pace bowler in the country, Bumrah hasn't been effective as much as the team would've liked him to be on spin-friendly pitches against New Zealand. Ahead of the third Test in Wankhede, Dinesh Karthik has told the Indian team management to give Bumrah a rest ahead of the Australia tour.
"Can't Blame Rohit Sharma": Ex-NZ Star Namedrops R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja In Big Verdict
Former New Zealand pacer Simon Doull attributed India's shocking series defeat to their batsmen's inadequacies against spin bowling but he was not ready to write off underwhelming star batter Virat Kohli. Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner grabbed 13 wickets as the Kiwis walloped India by 113 runs in the second Test here on Saturday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. “There's a misconception that Indian players are better players of spin. I think they've had better spinners and they've been able to expose the opposition batters. But in this Test (at Pune), their batters were exposed a little bit by a very, very good performance from Mitchell Santner,” Doull told PTI Videos.

It also turned out to be India's first Test series loss on home soil in 12 years. Talks of India's dominance at home were put to rest by the Blackcaps, who fetched the best of the conditions on offer.
