At the half way stage, it seemed as if New Zealand would run away with 2 points from the game. The bowlers thought otherwise. They were well backed up by the fielders as the run-rate was kept under control from the first over. All the New Zealand batsmen spent time in the middle but found runs tough to come by. If this match is anything to go by, the rest of the matches should be thrillers too.
What can be said of Jhulan Goswami that hasn't been said? She took the team from 87/8 to 142 and then bowled her quota of overs brilliantly. Lion heart!
