Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. Suzie Bates’ enthusiastic reaction to taking the catch in the covers said it all. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. But after expensive outings in the White Ferns’ first two matches – the opening night loss to the West Indies (3-57 off nine), and the win over Bangladesh (0-19 off two) in a rain-hit contest on Tuesday – she was a revelation. White Ferns get it right from the start in Women's Cricket World Cup win over India * White Ferns score crucial women's cricket World Cup win over India in Hamilton
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.

She followed that up with two more fours and another six from an expensive Jess Kerr over, giving Indian fans reason to keep the faith. A Melie Kerr/Martin stumping preceded a clean bowl from Kerr, the 21-year old sitting on a hattrick ball in the 30th over. The first six Kiwi batters all got in on the fun, with 28 boundaries between them. It was a typical speedy score for the New Zealand captain, seven fours and seven singles from 30 balls shooting their score upwards. It was a real reflection to go back and look at how I was playing, and if I can walk off and say that I’m playing the way that I want to regardless of how it goes, then I can at least accept that.” There may have been mixed feelings in the Kerr family, as the younger of the sisters, Melie, reached her sixth ODI 50 and took 3-56. At the end of the White Ferns innings, fans would be forgiven for thinking their total of 260 was slightly under par. Satterthwaite shared significant partnerships with Kerr, Maddy Green and Katey Martin before being caught on 75. "To be honest I was probably disappointed with my first two games. “It’s always really special to take the field and know that your daughter’s there, watching," Tahuhu said afterwards. It was not where I wanted to be," Tahuhu said. "We actually thought we were probably 10-15 [runs] short.

I thought we were a little bit short of where we should have been, but if I had been offered 260 at the start of the game, I think I might have taken it.” “I think we’d been a little bit off the pace with our bowling, certainly over the Indian series before we started the World Cup. “I think the most pleasing thing was certainly the way we bowled,” he said on SENZ Mornings.

Katey Martin's valuable knock of 41 came to an end in the final over as Goswami knocked her over. As Raj started to up the ante, she was outfoxed by a tossed up delivery by Amelia Kerr, with the Indian skipper walking back for 31 off 56 deliveries. Martin got a second life as Pooja Vastrakar spilt a simple catch off the bowling of Rajeshwari Gayakwad in the 42nd over. Satterthwaite took 60 balls to reach fifty, also ticking over a fifty partnership with Maddy Green in the process. Bhatia would finally perish for 28, with a leading edge to cover, as Tahuhu celebrated her second scalp. Deepti Sharma also couldn't last long, with Lea Tahuhu trapping her LBW for 5 in what turned out to be a successful review as India slipped to 26/2.
