The fourth women’s ODI among India and New Zealand on Tuesday had to be reduced to a 20-over game after a rain delay. However, the shortened match immediately saw some high-octane action after India won the throw and put hosts New Zealand into bat at the John Davies Oval in Queenstown. New Zealand captain Sophie Devine looked in ominous touch and smashed the Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground. In any case, her stay at the crease ended because of an amazing diving catch from Smriti Mandhana at backward point.
Devine (32) was going great guns when received a hit-me ball from Renuka Singh. The New Zealand totally smashed the ball but it went in the air. Mandhana, who got back to the team in the wake of missing the first three ODIs, dived to her left and grabbed the ball with both hands. Watch
