India Vs New Zealand LIVE Score, ICC Women’s World Cup 2025: Pratika Completes Ton After Mandhana's Departure

Maiden World Cup century for the young Pratika Rawal. An innings of composure and she reaches the mark in 122 balls. Smriti Mandhana is gone but Rawal is keeping India's run rate high. Jemimah Rodrigues embraces Rawal and India are in a solid position to get to 350.

Hundred is up for Smriti Mandhana in just 88 balls and she has now 14 ODI centuries. What a star. India are just motoring ahead to get a mammoth total tonight. 211 already with all the wickets in hand. India will definitely be eyeing 350-plus.

Partnership now at 170. What a mammoth stand underway between the two Indian openers, Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal. India should aim for 350 now on the back of this record-breaking partnership.

India are turning on the heat now. Pratika Rawal too is past her fifty and this partnership is making things look really tough for New Zealand. India looking set for a massive score here.

Fifty for Smriti Mandhana as she continues her fine form in this tournament. Pratika Rawal is giving her some really good company and that has meant India have crossed into three figures without any loss in just 18 overs. New Zealand need to find a way to break through.

Top start from the Indian openers and they have shaken the early woes in some style. 40 runs already added in 10 overs for India. New Zealand have been good with their plans and that has helped them keep the duo of Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal quiet. But the Indian openers have found a few boundaries to keep the scoreboard ticking.

Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal have started really cautiously here. Some really good bowling from both ends for New Zealand. Jess Kerr and Rosemary Mair have kept the lid on India's scoring. No boundaries in first 24 balls.
