Women’s T20 World Cup: India vs New Zealand Match Preview When And Where To Watch. As the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 gets underway, the next fixture on October 4 will pit India against New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, a game that is very much anticipated. Both teams aim for an early advantage in the tournament, hence the significance of the match.

IND vs NZ Match Preview:

As the captain of the Indian team, Harmanpreet Kaur waits to start the tournament as they come with a strong lineup. With players such as Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana in their aggressive batting lineup, coupled with the experience of bowlers Renuka Singh and Deepti Sharma, they are tough teams to beat.

New Zealand, captained by Sophie Devine, is also a balanced side well educated in both batting and bowling and hence will seek to make an impact in the first phase of play.

India might be in a better position because of their current form and experience with the UAE conditions, but this is where New Zealand’s experience and head-to-head record come into play, which should make this an interesting battle.
