| India suffer embarrassment ![]() Pullar took five for 10 in seven overs Women's one-day tri-series, Jersey: New Zealand 168-9 (50 overs) beat India 26 all out (19.1 overs) by 142 runs New Zealand's Rachel Pullar took five wickets as India were bowled out for their lowest total ever in a 142-run tri-series defeat at St Helier, Jersey. India's 26 all out was well short of their previous low of 37, achieved against the same opponent during the 1981/82 World Cup in Auckland. It completes a miserable start to the tournament for India, who were bundled out for 59 by England in a six-wicket defeat on Wednesday. The first seven wickets fell before India had reached double figures, with Pullar conceding just 10 runs from seven overs. And only a stands of nine for the ninth wicket and seven for the last stand took India past Pakistan's record low 23, achieved against Australia in 1996/97. Jhulan Goswami top-scored with eight, narrowly beating the six Extras, before being last out, caught off Haidee Tiffen. Kiwi worries New Zealand had also found themselves in early trouble at 36 for three, but captain Emily Drumm's four-boundary 56 took the White Ferns to 168 for nine. Deepa Kulkarni took four for 37 and Goswami three for 45 for India, whose captain Anjum Chopra won the toss and elected to bowl.
Tiffen was particularly abrasive, hitting six boundaries before becoming Kulkarni's first victim for a timely 37. Drumm was the eighth to go late in the innings when Jhulan levelled her stumps. But the Kiwi skipper had done more than enough to ensure victory. India: A Chopra (Capt), M Raj, N David, D M Kulkarni, H Kala, M Maben, J Goswami, S Singh, A Kirkire, S Parajpe, S Naik (Wkt). New Zealand: E C Drumm (Capt), K A Ramel, N J Browne, A M Corbin, A L Mason, F S King, N Payne, K L Pulford, R J Pullar R J Rolls (Wkt), H M Tiffen. Umpires: J H Evans and J Hayes |
