The India women's cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, is all set to take on New Zealand in a one-off T20I on Wednesday. The shortest format of the game will be followed by five ODIs, as the Women in Blue will look to finetune their preparations ahead of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup, starting on March 4.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will surely be looking to carry her good form from the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) - where she amassed 406 runs from 13 games - into this clash. However, she had a stark contrast last 12 months in T20Is for India where she scored just 121 runs from six matches.
Even the trio of Jemimah Rodrigues, Harleen Deol and Shikha Pandey do not find themselves in the T20I squad. Meanwhile, Meghna Singh is likely to make her T20I debut, while Yastika Bhatia and Sneh Rana could also be part of the playing XI.
