A Century of Memory, Herman's Fifty
Actually, the three-match series remained tied at 1-1. The third and deciding match of the series was played on Tuesday. Thanks to Brook Halliday's inning of 86 runs, New Zealand recovered from a bad start and managed to score 232 runs. The Indian women's team achieved this modest target by losing four wickets in the 45th over. Smriti Mandhana scored a tremendous century. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur scored an unbeaten half-century and helped the Indian team win the series. In bowling, experienced Deepti Sharma took three wickets and Priya Mishra took two wickets.

This is how the Indian team won
Apart from scoring 100 runs in 122 balls with the help of 10 fours, Mandhana took the team closer to the target by making a partnership of 117 runs in 115 balls for the third wicket with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (59 not out). Indian batting, which struggled in the first two matches, benefited from Mandhana's return to form and the team did not allow the New Zealand bowlers to dominate. Mandhana laid a strong foundation by making a partnership of 76 runs for the second wicket with Yastika Bhatia (35 runs on 49 balls) and then sealed the victory by making a century partnership with Harmanpreet. Harmanpreet hit six fours in her unbeaten innings of 63 balls. For New Zealand, Hannah Rowe took two wickets while captain Sophie Devine and Fran Jonas took one wicket each.

Halliday's innings went in vain and troubled the New Zealand batsmen with some line-lengths right from the start of the innings. India got its first breakthrough when Suzie Bates was run out on a brilliant throw from Jemimah Rodrigues. In-form New Zealand captain Sophie Devine (nine runs) also did not bat in the match. Georgia Plimmer scored 39 runs and Maddie Green scored 19 runs. Halliday was the top scorer with 86 runs.
