White Ferns is no match for chic India in the first ODI women's game

The gap between the White Ferns and the three major women's cricket teams continues to widen, after India has dismissed them from match 1 of the international one-day series on Thursday.

In some strange similarities with the previous 24 hours at Napier's McLean Park, a highly polite Indian team has easily reshaped the sub-normal 192 of New Zealand, winning it by nine wickets with a gigantic advantage of more than 17 players.

Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, young beginners in India, were outstanding in the looting of 190, the fourth highest ODI opening women's forum, with the goal of filling gaps and punishing the ball short, too often reserved for bowlers.

It was a bullet of very high quality. Mandhana, 22, scored her fourth-century ODI, 105 balls out of 104 balloons, and Rodrigues, 18, sustained it with 81 losses.

The White Ferns have been surpassed in all areas, especially in the field where India was much sharper. It is clear that the hosts have a mountain to climb to win this series of three games that will continue in Mount Maunganui Tuesday and Hamilton next Friday.

For the White Ferns and the new captain, Amy Satterthwaite, this was a recent disturbing trend: they dominated the road midfield at home but could not compete with England, Australia and Australia. 'India. of the World Twenty20 last year before the semifinals.

It has been more than a decade since New Zealand – the 2009 World Cup finalists – defeated one of the top three in the women's ODI bilateral training series.

So much depends on Satterthwaite, Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine, and when this trio left the group at a relatively modest cost, their targeted total of 250 people has always been a heavy task after they were sent.

"We had a lot of people who started and did not start, we created our own pressure, and then we try to release it with a shot that was not really successful," Satterthwaite said. .

Back from the Women's Big Bash in Australia, the senior trio has also struggled.

Devine (28 of 38) could have done better for a single single and was eliminated by a brilliant direct hit from Deepti Sharma.

Bates (36 out of 54) used the sweeping slog wisely, but did not really score one and the towering silhouette of Jhulan Goswami collapsed for a stark bash.

After opening 61, he became strangely twisting.

The three Indian spinners Sharma, Poonam Yadav and Ekta Bisht placed eight quotation marks between them, giving the ball a lot of air and slowing the pace, asking New Zealanders to create something. Some deliveries were just over 50 km / h, speed limit outside on Latham St but pedestrian for all hitters.

It worked like Satterthwaite (31 out of 45) and the promising Amelia Kerr (28 out of 60) tried to hit him but found the players and failed to score.

Satterthwaite struck beautiful limits, but then offered a sweet catch, and Kerr was too long.

"We have to continue to support our abilities and play with a little more confidence, sometimes we let them play too much and if you let them go, they will fix the situation and make it difficult for us," said the captain. .

New thrower, Lea Tahuhu, created some early chances in an animated spell, but she quickly escaped.

Kerr and his countryman Spinner Leigh Kasperek were present after the Indian openers had stroked and they could not stop them.
