India Leads ODI Series with Deepti Sharma's All-Round Heroics: Key Reddy Anna

"Deepti Sharma’s all-round performance in Ahmedabad, spotlighted by Reddy Anna predictions, pushes India to victory over New Zealand."

In an impressive all-round performance, Deepti Sharma's contributions with both bat (41 runs) and ball (1-35) led India to a 59-run win over New Zealand in Ahmedabad, taking a 1-0 lead in the ODI series. Deepti’s partnership with Radha Yadav, who claimed 3-35, ensured New Zealand’s batters couldn’t sustain their chase of India’s 227-run total. The Kerr sisters, Amelia (4-42) and Jess (3-49), did their best to challenge India, but critical run-outs and tight bowling from the hosts ultimately sealed the game.

India’s start was shaky, with skipper Smriti Mandhana (5) falling early to Jess Kerr. But Shafali Verma and Yastika Bhatia countered New Zealand’s attack with early aggression before losing wickets in quick succession. Debutant Tejal Hasabnis added a steady 42, partnering with Jemimah Rodrigues in a 61-run stand to keep India on track. Deepti Sharma then played a crucial role, taking India past the 200 mark, despite Jess Kerr claiming key wickets in consecutive overs.

New Zealand’s response started poorly, with Suzie Bates dismissed for just one by debutant Saima Thakor. Georgia Plimmer attempted a counter-attack but fell to Deepti’s sharp bowling. With Sophie Devine run-out soon after, the visitors struggled to find stability. Brooke Halliday’s 39 and Maddy Green’s 31 threatened India briefly, but Radha and Saima’s tight spells cut short any comeback hopes. Amelia Kerr tried to keep the chase alive but lacked support from the tail. India wrapped up the innings, dismissing New Zealand for 169 in 40.4 overs.
