When it comes to the question of 'Who is playing in India vs New Zealand Women's T20 World Cup match?", Smriti Mandhana’s availability for the game is still uncertain. She missed the previous game against Bangladesh Women due to viral fever. If Mandhana returns, she might replace young Richa Ghosh who scored 14 in the previous match.

In the bowling department, captain Harmanpreet Kaur will once again look up to spin wizard Poonam Yadav to deliver with the ball. Apart from her match-winning spell of 4-19 against Australia Women, Poonam Yadav also picked 3-18 against Bangladesh Women.
