Toss India chose to bowl vs New Zealand
That apart, Lea Tahuhu, Maddy Green and Fran Jonas were also unavailable to play. While Green and Jonas had both got lacerations to their right hands while practicing, Tahuhu was not played as a precautionary measure after leaving the field on Friday due to a hamstring niggle. New Zealand had only 11 players available to choose from and all of them were playing on Tuesday.
The hosts lead the series 3-0, as India seek a consolation victory ahead of the World Cup starting early next month in New Zealand.
