The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand is underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium and Team India has yet again crumbled under pressure. After India’s lackluster bowling performance in the ongoing second match, the New Zealand women’s team played brilliantly throughout the innings and gave a target of 260 runs. Indian openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana failed to set up the required momentum for the Indian team. Mandhana, widely regarded as the queen of Indian women's cricket and currently serving as the team's vice-captain, missed an early opportunity to set the tone in a challenging run chase. In just the first over, she sent a straightforward catch to Georgia Plimmer at point off Lea Tahuhu's bowling, falling short once again of the high standards she’s known for.

Her struggles at the crease were a setback for the team, ultimately contributing to their crucial losses and a disappointing group-stage exit from the tournament. Amid a string of disappointing performances in international cricket, Smriti Mandhana is facing calls from fans for her removal from the Indian Women’s team. Frustrated by her recent form, many supporters are urging selectors to consider younger talent for the squad, hoping fresh players could bring a positive change.
