"Kiwi side keeps final bid alive"
- Description
This image was taken (but not used) by the Evening Standard on 24 January 1982. It depicts the New Zealand Women’s Cricket team taking on the Indian Women’s Cricket team in a limited over (60) match for the Hansell's Vita Fresh Women's World Cup 1981/1982. The match was held at Fitzherbert Park. New Zealand won by 8 wickets.
Run out? A New Zealand bowler (possibly Eileen Badham) removes the bails but presumably the Indian batter has made her ground. Although two run outs were completed during the Indian Innings, Nilima Barve (later Jogalekar) was bowled for 7 by Jackie Lord and Anjali Gurjar was bowled by Badham.
Match result:
New Zealand women won by 8 wickets.
India 78 (50.5 overs)
New Zealand 80/2 (28.1 overs)Hosting the Women’s World Cup was a huge coup for the New Zealand Women’s Cricket Council. They had managed to secure corporate sponsorship in a time of amateur status in the women’s game. Most matches were well attended and raised the profile of the women’s game in New Zealand, with a marked increase in adult players over the coming years. It was also mired in controversy - the West Indian team pulled out of the event in protest at New Zealand’s acceptance of the touring Springbok Rugby team in 1981. The counties who participated were New Zealand, England, Australia, India and an International XI comprised of international players who had not made their representative sides, plus two players from the Netherlands.
