All matches will be played at the John Davies Oval in Queenstown in order to reduce the risk of COVID-19.

T20I skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will be looking to carry on her form from the Women’s Big Bash League where the 32-year-old, playing for Melbourne Renegades, amassed 406 runs from 13 games, earning herself a Player of the Tournament Award.

In a stark contrast, Harmanpreet has had a forgettable last 12 months in T20Is for India, scoring just 121 runs from six matches.

The trio of Jemimah Rodrigues, Harleen Deol and Shikha Pandey do not find themselves in the T20I squad.

Right-arm medium pacer Meghna Singh is likely to make her T20I debut, while Yastika Bhatia and Sneh Rana are also set to be part of the playing XI.

India’s bowling department consists of the experienced Ekta Bisht and Poonam Yadav. The two share a combined tally of 151 wickets between them,.

Ekta Bisht, though, last played a T20I for India in March 2019 against England and will look to make her opportunity count.

ODI captain Mithali Raj, meanwhile, said that the team’s focus will be on adapting to the conditions.

“It is a different format. The team will be looking forward to wining the game. Having said that, this T20 will also give a fair idea about the wickets, how the players are coping with an open ground,” Mithali said.

“We are here to use this series as preparation for the World Cup because it is the best way we get to know about the wickets and composition we will have next month. We want to put in the our best standard of cricket so the team derives a lot of confidence when get into the World Cup,” she added.

New Zealand will be led by Sophie Devine and the White Ferns side sees familiar faces in Suzie Bates and Amy Satterthwaite. Pacer Lea Tahuhu will be leading the bowling attack.
