Veda Krishnamurthy thinks Team India’s upcoming clash against New Zealand is extremely important to their prospects in the ongoing Women’s World Cup.The Indian women’s team started their World Cup campaign on a good note by defeating Pakistan by 107 runs. On the flip side, the White Ferns suffered a reversal against West Indies in their first match but bounced back to defeat Bangladesh by nine wickets in their second game.
Veda Krishnamurthy said:
“This game is actually crucial for both of them, considering New Zealand has lost to West Indies. So they will be all pumped and raring to go. But at the same time, India will need this win going forward in this World Cup.”
She further explained:
“This is one game where we [Team India] are very sure of what needs to be done, player-wise, plan-wise. Now it is all about executing that because if we plan and we won’t be able to execute, then there is no point of all this planning and plotting. This is the game to execute their plans really well.”
“Now they know the strengths and the weaknesses, how New Zealand go about with their batting order or bowling. So there is an idea of how things will work. It is going to be a tough game because like I am saying we know them, New Zealand knows our strengths and weaknesses as well and it’s like recent fresh memory in the head.”
