- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 Arundhati gets the breakthrough! Much-needed for India. Full length delivery, pace off, on the middle and leg stump, Bates heaves this towards deep midwicket. Ball lands safely into the hands of Shreyanka. Ends 67-run opening stand 67/18.1 Asha strikes! Another opener departs. Tossed up on the stumps, Plimmer comes down the track and lofts this straight to hands of Mandhana at long-on. Didn't get the elevation. Asha is a big Arsenal fan and that was the celebration Leandro Trossard of Arsenal does. The binoculars celebration 67/214.2 chipped to cover, no doubt about this one! Full and wide, Kerr tried to lever this up and over the infield but picked out Vastrakar as she dipped low to take the catch. India celebrate raucously, for the second time in a few minutes - and there'll be no reprieve for Kerr 99/318.4 sliced straight to cover! Wobble seam from Renuka, Halliday stepped out but cut across the line with her shot, sending a simple catch to Mandhana on the edge of the circle. India could do with another wicket or two to keep things quiet at the death 145/4Extras8 (b 4, w 4)TOTAL160/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Suzie Bates, 7.4 ov), 2-67 (Georgia Plimmer, 8.1 ov), 3-99 (Amelia Kerr, 14.2 ov), 4-145 (Brooke Halliday, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 Carson removes Mandhana! Big blow for India. Both openers are gone in the powerplay. Full length on off stump, she comes down to go big, but couldn't get this out from the middle of the bat. Hits straight to long-on 28/21.1 Shafali gone! Big wicket for New Zealand. Tossed up on the middle and leg, just held on a bit, she looks to flick but doesn't middle it. Hits it gently back to bowler who completes a clean catch. Well done, Carson. Maybe Shafali expected the ball to turn 11/15.4 Big appeal for lbw and the umpire's finger goes up! Harmanpreet thinks it is going down the leg and reviews this. Huge moment in the game if she is out. Full length delivery, swinging in from outside off stump, she looks to hit this across the line and misses. Impact is umpire's call. So Harmanpreet has to depart for 15 42/38.5 Rodrigues departs! Pressure got to her? Full length delivery around off stump, she chips this straight to Green at mid-on to leave India four down. Tahuhu is pumped 55/410.6 length ball, mistimed... and taken! A dolly of a chance to mid-off and Devine isn't going to drop those tonight. In fact, I'm not sure Tahuhu did much different with the delivery, but it stuck in the pitch as Ghosh looked to close the face and ballooned up into the Dubai sky. India five down and circling the Ring of Fire now 70/514.4 full and wide, flubbed to cover! Deepti bye-bye and India are on the brink of a crushing loss here. This was an offcutter in the channel and she had to try and manufacture power to clear the ring - in the end she got nowhere near enough on it. Third of the night for Tahuhu 88/712.2 another goes - pace off and chipped into the ring! Reddy went deep in the crease but ended up spooning a length ball up into the off side, a simple catch for Bates in the covers, and NZ are closing in on a sensational win to start their WC 75/615.3 googled through the gate! Kerr doesn't need a search engine to locate off stump. Teasingly flighted, brings Vastrakar outside the line where she hangs the bat, only for the ball to spin back inside and tickle off the bails. NZ nearly there 90/818.5 slogged straight up the chimney - held this time! Full outside off, done by the slower ball. Molly Penfold, the sub fielder, steadies herself at mid-off and India lose their ninth 102/918.6 squirted to backward point, this is done! NZ win by 58 runs and send shockwaves rippling through Group A!! A golden duck for Renuka and Mair finishes with magnificent, career-best figures of 4 for 19. What a moment for NZ to remind everyone of their pedigree 102/10Extras13 (b 2, w 11)TOTAL102 all out (19 Overs, RR: 5.36)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Shafali Verma, 1.1 ov), 2-28 (Smriti Mandhana, 4.4 ov), 3-42 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 5.4 ov), 4-55 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 8.5 ov), 5-70 (Richa Ghosh, 10.6 ov), 6-75 (Arundhati Reddy, 12.2 ov), 7-88 (Deepti Sharma, 14.4 ov), 8-90 (Pooja Vastrakar, 15.3 ov), 9-102 (Shreyanka Patil, 18.5 ov), 10-102 (Renuka Singh, 18.6 ov)
