With the scoreboard reading 154 for four in 36.3 overs, the swashbuckling batswoman blasted White Ferns bowling to all parts of the park. She faced a good 15-16 deliveries to get her eye in before letting go.
With the help of seven boundaries and two sixes, the 24-year-old added 70 runs in 45 balls, taking the Indian total to an above par 265 runs. Mithali Raj held on to one side and allowed Krishnamurthy the license to play big shots.
It was her innings which made the target daunting enough for the New Zealand side, who fell like a pack of cards in the second innings.
