India will face New Zealand in the second Women’s ODI on October 27, with the hosts looking to secure a series-clinching victory. After their commanding 59-run win in the first ODI, India leads the 3-match series 1-0 and is brimming with confidence. A second consecutive win would ensure India captures the series, giving them momentum as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.

For New Zealand, the upcoming game is a do-or-die encounter. Having lost the first ODI, the visitors must win the second match to keep their hopes alive in the series. A victory would set up a thrilling decider in the final ODI, and New Zealand will be eager to bounce back and showcase their fighting spirit.
