43.2: Melie Kerr to Saima Thakor, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Melie Kerr gets her fourth wicket and India Women are staring down an all-out before 50 overs. Melie Kerr cunningly varies her pace again, bowls it on a flatter trajectory around off, on a fuller length. It turns and bounces a bit as well off the deck. Saima Thakor employs the sweep shot, gets her bat underneath the ball but due to that excessive bounce, she ends up slices it flat in the air.

Jess Kerr bowls it on a good length, around off, it skids through quickly off the deck and hurries the batter. Radha Yadav pushes it with hard hands and just ends up chipping it back to the bowler. Jess Kerr takes a simple catch on the follow-through. Radha Yadav walks back in disgust and punches her bat. New Zealand Women really pressing in on their opponents now.
