Four runs! Executes a reverse sweep and beats the short third fielder to reach the boundary. Another four runs! A sweep shot through square leg also finds the fence. And yet another four runs! Devine confidently steps down and pulls through midwicket for the third boundary of the over.
Four runs! Devine confidently strides down the track once more, smashing the ball past the bowler for a boundary. Another four runs! Asha tries a short delivery, but Devine expertly rocks back and pulls the ball through the gap on the leg side for another boundary.
More boundaries are being scored, this time due to a mistake by Richa Ghosh as New Zealand earns four byes. Plimmer attempted to scoop the ball but ended up shuffling across, causing the ball to pass both the batter and the keeper.
Plimmer confidently strides down the track and smacks the ball straight past mid-on for a boundary. She then expertly hits towards sweeper cover, adding two more runs to his total. Following it up with a single, she pushes the ball towards square leg. Plimmer comes down the track once again and lofts the ball just over the long-on fielder. The umpires are checking to see if it's a four or a six... and it's a SIX!
Bates hits a short ball and pulls it towards square leg for a boundary. The next ball is slightly fuller, and Bates calmly pushes it towards mid-on for no run. On the third ball, Bates confidently walks down the wicket and drives the full delivery past mid-on for another four runs.

Sophie Devine | NZ Captain: We're going to bat first. I've been really happy about the way the team's gone about it's business. Results haven't gone our way but we're always learnig. Looking to put our best foot forward in this one. It's going to be slower, there's still runs in it. Still opportunity to be attacking.
Harmanpreet Kaur | IND Captain: We just want to go out there and play good cricket. All the players back themselves. It's the best team and the best team we have in this format. We have a balanced side. We have a long batting line-up as well. It's all about going out there and enjoying ourselves.
