Women's World Cup: Mitali Raj hits century, India post 265/7 against New Zealand

Derby, July 15 (IBNS): Indian captain Mitali Raj led from the front to steer her team to a comfortable 265 runs for the loss of seven wickets in a Women's World Cup 2017 clash on Saturday.

The Indian skipper scored a brilliant  109 runs with her willow.

Losing the toss, India came out to bat against New Zealand and scored 265/7 in 50 overs.

Though India lost wickets upfront, it was the partnership between the skipper and Harmanpreet Kaur which pushed the team to a comfort zone.

Though Kaur was dismissed at 60, Raj went on to score a hundred. She was aptly supported by Veda Krishnamurthy, who scored a quick 70 in the later part of the innings.

Leigh Kasperek of New Zealand finished with the best bowling figure of 3/45 in 10 overs.

Hannah Rowe bagged two Indian wickets, conceding just 30 runs.

India need to win this match to reserve a place in the semi final.
