A third over from Jess Kerr, only a couple of singles from it as India try to rebuild.

Kerr has conceded just 13 runs from her 18 balls.

Not all that far away - pretty straight and ball tracking says just about bouncing over the stumps.

Ghosh gets off the mark from the final ball of the over, turning the ball to mid-wicket for a single and taking India to 43-3.

That's the end of the powerplay - an excellent one for India.

Maybe even more trouble!

Mair hits the pads of new batter Richa Ghosh, defending back in her crease.

It's a no this time from umpire Anna Harris, New Zealand give a review a whirl.

Her review is not optimistic, she knows that there is no bat on it. I think she's more worried about the position her team will be in if she is out.

The captain is in trouble...

Rosemary Mair becomes the third New Zealand bowler to change ends in the powerplay, and it looks like she's trapped Harmanpreet in front of her stumps.

She misses playing across the line and Anna Harris' finger goes straight up.

The India skipper sends the decision upstairs - she has to, really.

Jemimah Rodrigues is in at four for India and she faces the boundary from the first legitimate delivery she faces, sweeping to the square leg ropes.

India's required run-rate is up at 8.46 per over, having started at 8.05.

That's the wicket they wanted! Eden Carson responded well to the pressure she faced at the beginning of this over, but it's India who are under pressure now.

Another tidy over within the powerplay for Jess Kerr, with India taking just a couple of singles from the opening two balls of the over.

New Zealand were 35-0 at this stage.

That's a beautiful shot. She just opened the face of the bat and let it glide to the boundary. And it was a much-needed boundary as well...

Smriti Mandhana denies seamer Rosemary Mair an opening maiden, advancing down the pitch then adapting to jam her bat down and guide the ball to the boundary at third.

That wicket brings captain Harmanpreet Kaur to the crease and gets off the mark immediately with an edge over keeper Izzy Gaze while attempting the reverse sweep.

A bold opening shot, she gets two with a more conventional push to mid-wicket from the final ball of the over.

That is a big, big wicket. It was such a soft dismissal, and will certainly calm Eden Carson's nerves at the start of her first over.

New Zealand had a bowling dot ball rate of 49% at the Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, the best of any team in the tournament.

The White Ferns’ bowling strike rate (16.3) was the best of any team in the campaign.

A handy start from India, scoring off every ball of seamer Jess Kerr's opening over.

One wide, singles, and two byes as the ball deflects off Shafali Verma.

First ball straight to the boundary!

Smriti Mandhana whips Jess Kerr's opening delivery to the square boundary leg, the diving fielder beaten on the ropes.

Cue huge cheers from a partisan crowd.

I loved how Georgia Plimmer went about this game. She came out with so much intent and that gave Sophie Devine a good platform to work from. Sophie ran really well throughout and will need to recover quickly before they come out for the next innings.

Thanks Adwaidh.

Set-up for an intriguing chase here by the looks of it.
