Cricket News : India women's team loses to New Zealand in dead rubber

New Zealand managed to escape a 0-3 whitewash by registering an eight-wicket win over India in the third and final ICC Women's Championship One-day International. After putting India in to bat and bundling them out for a paltry 149 in 44 overs, thanks to Anna Peterson's 4/28 and Lea Tahuhu's 3/26, New Zealand rode on veteran Suzie Bates (57) and captain Amy Satterthwaite (66 not out) to overhaul the target in 29.2 overs and cruise to a face-saving win. The victory helped the hosts jump to No.2 on the ranking table, pushing Mithali Raj's India to third.
