With an extended quarantine set to keep star batter Smriti Mandhana out, the Indian women’s cricket team will look to sort out combination issues when it starts the five-ODI series against New Zealand on Saturday.

The tour of NZ started with a reversal after the visitors went down by 18 runs in the one-off T20I and skipper Mithali Raj will be keen to provide the team a winning start in its ODI campaign, which is crucial ahead of the ICC World Cup next month.
