Kiwis level series
The New Zealand women's cricket team came up with a fine all-round performance to beat India by three wickets and level the five-match One-Day International series 1-1 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium yesterday.
Batting first, India, who had won the opening tie on Sunday, made a hash of a fine start by opener Thirush Kamini, 61, (96b, 11x4, 1x6) as they lost wickets at regular intervals to be all out for 163 in the final over after being 68/1 at one stage.
The Black Caps shrugged off a shaky start to recover from 68/4 to make 164/7 in 44.2 overs with useful contributions from Rachel Priest (21), Amy Satterhwaite (23), Sophie Devine (33), Katie Perkins (30) and tailender Anna Peterson (23 not out)
