The Indian team put on a stunning show against New Zealand to first fight back from 1-6 down and take a 7-6 lead. From there on it went back and forth. After End 14 too, India trailed by a point. But a stunning penultimate bowl in the final End by the captain Rupa Rani Tirkey put India in a great position by knocking off NZL’s closest bowl, and that gave India a whopping four points.
