However, since the other members of the Indian women's team were not able to perform significantly, India scored 133 runs in less than eight wickets.

However, the Indian bowlers again performed brilliantly and restricted the New Zealand team to 129 for six. India topped their group with 6 points in three games and became the first team to reach the semifinals. India had defeated Australia and Bangladesh earlier. Now the Indian team will play the last league match against Sri Lanka on Saturday.
