Hamilton, February 1 (IANS): New Zealand managed to escape a 0-3 whitewash by registering an eight-wicket win over India in the third and final ICC Women’s Championship One-day International (ODI) here on Friday.
After putting India in to bat and bundling them out for a paltry 149 in 44 overs, thanks to Anna Peterson’s 4/28 and Lea Tahuhu’s 3/26, New Zealand rode on veteran Suzie Bates (57) and captain Amy Satterthwaite (66 not out) to overhaul the target in 29.2 overs and cruise to a face-saving win.
The victory helped the hosts jump to No.2 on the IWC table, pushing Mithali Raj’s India to third. The teams will now contest in three T20Is, the first of which will be played in Wellington on February 6.
