Bates came into the tournament on the condition that she won’t be bowling heavily because of a side strain. However, because of the couple of big Indian partnerships, she had to bowl eight overs – like she did in the last match – in which she went for 59 runs.
Then with the bat in her hands, the NZ skipper walked in to open the innings and went back in the second over itself. Shikha Pandey got her caught in the slips on the first delivery of the second over, giving the White Ferns a big jolt early on.
