Ahmedabad:<\/strong> The relentless accuracy of bowlers, led by Radha Yadav, drove India to a comfortable 59-run victory over New Zealand in the first women’s ODI here on Thursday.<\/p>\n

India now lead the three-match series 1-0, after bowling out the Kiwis for 168 who were chasing a gettable 228. Left-arm spinner Yadav (3\/35) was India’s lead act in bowling.<\/p>\n

Debutant pacer Saima Thakor inflicted the first blow in only the second ball of her international career, removing Suzie Bates (1).<\/p>\n

Bates feathered an away-swinger to Yastika Bhatia behind the stumps.<\/p>\n

But that was only the beginning as three more wickets fell while New Zealand reached 79, and the dismissal of skipper Sophie Devine was the most bizarre.<\/p>\n

Devine forgot to drag her feet back behind the crease as stumper Yastika whipped the bails off after bowler Deepti Sharma threw the ball back to her.<\/p>\n

New Zealand briefly raised the vision of a comeback through the fifth-wicket partnership between Brook Halliday (39) and Maddy Green (31) that was worth 49 runs, the highest in their innings.<\/p>\n

But Thakor returned to dismiss Halliday to break the growing stand, and thereafter the New Zealand innings never recovered.<\/p>\n

Before that, India too endured a stifling batting experience of their own as they failed to counter the wily Kerr sisters \u2013 Amelia and Jess \u2013 as they were bowled out for a slightly under-par 227 after opting to bat first.<\/p>\n

Leg-spinner Amelia (4\/42) and medium pacer Jess (3\/49) were at the forefront of the Kiwis’ charge with the ball, and they received able support from off-spinner Eden Carson (2\/42).<\/p>\n

The bane of the Indian innings was the batters’ inability to convert the starts they got.<\/p>\n

Deepti Sharma (41), debutant Tejal Hasabnis (42), Shafali Verma (33), Yastika (37) and Jemimah Rodrigues (35) started off the block in fine fashion but were unable to build on.<\/p>\n

Hasabnis, in particular, will feel terrible as she was batting so well before getting out to Amelia.<\/p>\n

The right-hander danced down the track to the leg-spinner seeing the flight, but she failed to connect with the ball while attempting an almighty heave. Stumper Isabella Gaze did the rest.<\/p>\n

The lone bright spots in India’s innings was a 50-plus alliance \u2013 a 61 between Rodrigues and Hasabnis for the fifth wicket.<\/p>\n

Skipper Smriti Mandhana, who led the side after Harmanpreet Kaur was rested due to a niggle, was dismissed in the third over itself.<\/p>\n

She gave a simple catch to Georgia Plimmer off Jess as India could not impart the desired early momentum to their innings.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, they struggled for it the rest of the innings but the hosts’ bowler rose the occasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
