New Zealand bowlers restrict India as White Ferns win second Women's Cricket World Cup game.

Rajeshwari Gayakwad also stood out with the ball for India with 2-46 from her 10 overs. The White Ferns continued their recent dominance over India with a 62-run win in their Women's Cricket World Cup game in Hamilton. Pace bowler Lea Tahuhu had her best return for the world cup so far, taking 3-17 from her 10 overs in a miserly showing that kept India in check early in their run chase.

Ramesh Powar said that he was surprised with how India batted in the first 20 overs in the match against New Zealand.

And moving forward, I hope it will help us getting right results and the mindset," Powar said. So whatever is available, and what is given to me, I am just trying to make the best out of it. We wanted to give her a break, and bring in Yastika who was consistent in the performances. This is the right time to put your hand up and put up the performances, because we have been training for last six months. "I think it was one of those days where things didn't go our way and honestly I was also surprised with the way we batted for 20 overs. Powar urged the senior players in his side to stand up and take more responsibility.
