NEW ZEALAND WOMEN VS INDIA WOMEN MATCH DETAILS: Match: New Zealand vs India, Match 8, ICC Women’s World Cup 2022. Date and Time: March 10, 2022, Thursday, 06:30 AM IST. Venue: Seddon Park, Hamilton.  WEATHER CONDITIONS The weather conditions would be slightly overcast at Hamilton on March 10. The wicket is expected to play well as it did in the last game and batters are likely to find it easy on this surface. Bowlers would have to come up with good spells to do well at this venue. A score of 250 odd runs batting first should have the team’s confidence to defend it.  VENUE DETAILS Seddon Park, Hamilton is a typical New Zealand wicket where there is assistance for the fast bowlers. However, the ball comes onto the bat nicely and this allows batters to play their strokes and score runs. Spinners must rely on their variations as there isn’t much assistance for them from the surface. TOSS: TO BAT More than 600 runs were scored in the last game that was played here. Batting conditions were excellent, and we expect to see a similar kind of surface in this game. The side winning the toss here wouldn’t have hesitation to bat first.  PROBABLE TOP PERFORMERS PROBABLE BEST BATTER: SUZIE BATES New Zealand opener Suzie Bates had a fantastic outing in the previous game against Bangladesh and ripped apart the bowling attack with some strong displays of batting. The right-hander scored an unbeaten 79 in just 68 deliveries to take her side home in a rain-affected game and her match-winning knock included eight fours as well. The 34-year-old recently scored a century against India in the five-match ODI series before the World Cup and will be looking to exhibit the same form in this game. PROBABLE BEST BOWLER: LEA TAHUHU Lea Tahuhu can run through sides when she gets into her groove and has been playing an important role for the White Ferns. The right-arm seamer could bowl just two overs in the previous game against Bangladesh and be taken out of the attack after conceding 19 runs. However, she was the pick of the bowlers against West Indies in the tournament opener with three wickets to her name and will fancy her chances against India as well. NEW ZEALAND WOMEN VS INDIA WOMEN MATCH PREDICTION New Zealand has turned the tables around after getting off to a losing start to the competition. India, meanwhile, defeated Pakistan Women in their last encounter and will be eager to carry forward the winning momentum. Both sides are well-balanced and we expect a cracking contest. The home conditions will prove to be an advantage for New Zealand and they will be favorites to come out on top on Thursday. Prediction: New Zealand to win this encounter.
