It's a must-win clash for both teams to stay in contention for the Women's World Cup 2025 title.
India Women (IND W) will face New Zealand Women (NZ W) in Match No.24 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, on October 23. Let’s check the IND W vs NZ W Playing 11 in this must-win clash for both teams.
After a four-run loss against England, the hosts India need two-in-two wins to secure the last spot in the qualification for the 50-over tournament. Coming into the home ICC event, the fans’ expectations were high for the Women in Blue. But the team has failed to put up their best game so far in the championship, registering only two wins out of five fixtures.
On the other hand, New Zealand are fighting for the same spot. They find themselves in a similar situation, needing to win both of their remaining fixtures, against India and England. Two defeats, as many washouts, and a solitary victory against Bangladesh have placed them in the fifth position, just below India Women. While a win against the hosts will keep their hopes alive, a loss in the fixture would knock the White Ferns out of the tournament.
