Sun Oct 27 08:58:45 UTC 2024: ## India Women Aim for Revenge Against New Zealand in First ODI
**Ahmedabad, India:** The Indian women’s cricket team will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing performance at the 2024 T20 World Cup in UAE as they face New Zealand in a three-match ODI series starting on Thursday, October 24th. The first match will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
While the reigning T20 World Cup champions, New Zealand, are aiming to carry their strong form into the ODI format, India will be determined to avenge their recent defeat. The head-to-head record between the two teams leans slightly in India’s favor, with 20 wins out of 54 matches compared to New Zealand’s 33. However, a tight contest is expected, demanding a top performance from Harmanpreet Kaur and her team.
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is known to be batting-friendly, favoring big scores and offering opportunities for bowlers to capitalize on dew in the second half of the game. The team winning the toss is likely to opt for batting second.
Here are two Dream11 fantasy team suggestions for the first ODI:
