Three days ago, Leigh Kasperek had cut a forlorn figure at the press conference. For an 18 year old that defeat was gutting. Today, she would be there at the end when victory was achieved. New Zealand went steadily there, learning from the defeat. They rotated the strike well and looked to hit the big shots off the poor deliveries.

This makes the third game the most anticipated game of the series. Thanks for the company today. Do join us back on friday for the third ODI. Till then it's good night from all of us
