A place in the final four of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup is up for grabs for India as they face New Zealand in a must-win clash on Thursday. This match, #24 of the tournament, will be played at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai between the fourth-placed ‘Women in Blue’ and the fifth-placed ‘White Ferns’, and our prediction is a win for the visitors.
India have four points from five matches (W2, L3) and are hanging on to the last spot in the race to the semis. New Zealand also have four points (W1, L2, NR2) and are behind India on net run rate.
Three losses in a row against South Africa (three wickets), Australia (three wickets), and England (four runs) stalled India’s momentum. They can qualify for the semis with a win here, but a loss or washout would need them praying for favourable results elsewhere.
The uptick in Smrithi Mandhana’s form (222 runs, Avg. 44.40) has been a big plus. Deepti Sharma (13 wickets, ER 5.22) has been effective with the ball.
New Zealand haven’t played since October 10, as their last two games against Sri Lanka and Pakistan in Sri Lanka have been washed out.
Sophie Devine (260 runs) and Lea Tahuhu (nine wickets) remain their best bets on the field to deliver a win.

Our India Women vs New Zealand Women Prediction
India can book their spot with a win, while New Zealand need to win both their remaining games to make it to the semis. It’s easy to forget that India started the tournament positively with two wins and then were beaten in three consecutive matches. All those three were closely fought, and the margin of defeat was heartbreaking. The White Ferns come here having seen their last two matches washed out.
The visitors could spring a surprise here, and our India Women vs New Zealand Women prediction is New Zealand Women wins the match.
