After winning the series opener, India Women will face New Zealand in the second ODI tomorrow. Here's Wisden's pick of the betting odds for the game.
India v New Zealand 2nd ODI: Who will win?
Having endured a dismal T20 World Cup campaign, India turned things around with a 59-run win in the first ODI, thanks to Deepti Sharma's all-round performance (1-35 and 41).
Still, New Zealand, who are on the high of winning their maiden T20 World Cup, hold an edge over the hosts in the history of the format with 33 wins in 55 games. Though Stake are offering a 3.50 return on every pound betted for a New Zealand win, India are still the better backed team by some distance, priced at 1.30.
IND-W v NZ-W 2nd ODI: Which side will have the top batter?
Having failed in the first ODI, Smriti Mandhana is due for a big one. She is priced at 2.60 on Stake, the best across both teams. Amelia Kerr, Player of the Series in the 2024 T20 World Cup, is the next best at 3.65.
Harmanpreet Kaur, who sat out from the first game due to a niggle is also a decent choice, with a 3.80 return on every pound betted with Stake. She has a point to prove after questions were raised over her position as India's captain following their T20 World Cup group-stage exit.
India v New Zealand Women 2nd ODI: Which side will have the best bowler?
After becoming the most successful bowler in any edition of the T20 World Cup with 15 wickets, Amelia Kerr continued her purple run of form in the series opener. She picked up 4-42 from her nine overs. Kerr is backed at a 3.30 return on every pound betted with Stake, while her teammate Lea Tahuhu and India pacer Renuka Thakur are jointly priced at 3.50 on Stake.
