Last World Cup meeting:

The last World Cup meeting between both sides took place in the round-robin fixture of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017 at the County Ground in Derby on July 15, 2017. New Zealand skipper Suzie Bates won the toss and invited the Indian eves to have a bat. The decision seemed to be spot on after India lost their in-form openers Punam Raut and Smriti Mandhana and were reduced to 21/2 before a 132-run third-wicket stand between skipper Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur resurrected their innings. Raj scored 109 runs off 123 balls, while Kaur scored 60 runs off 90 deliveries.

A fine knock of a quickfire 70 runs from 45 deliveries from Veda Krishnamurthy propelled India to 265/7 from their 50 overs. In reply, left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad broke the backbone of the Kiwi batting line-up with a five-wicket haul. She finished with figures of 5/15 from her 7.3 overs at an economy of two including a maiden as the Black Caps were bundled out for a paltry 79 to hand India a comprehensive win by 186 runs as they qualified for the semifinals.
