The Indian women's cricket team had a bad start in the first match against New Zealand. Team India's bowling and fielding were very poor, especially in the powerplay. Something happened during the power play, after which the fans started questioning the ability of Team India. In fact, during New Zealand's innings, two players of Team India fielded very poorly in the sixth over. On the second ball of the sixth over, Renuka Thakur could not stop the very easy ball and the ball went for four runs. Just after two balls, wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh broke all limits.
Renuka Thakur did bad fielding but wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh dropped a very easy catch. Actually, Suzy Bates played a shot on the ball of Arundhati Reddy which went in the air. The ball slipped from Richa Ghosh's gloves. After missing such an easy catch, the fans got furious and trolled Richa and Renuka fiercely. Fans even said that after such poor fielding, it is difficult to win the T20 World Cup, let alone win the match.
That was an easy catch dropped by Richa Ghosh, followed by a simple boundary from Renkuka Singh.

However, after two bad fieldings, Team India made a good comeback. Arundhati Reddy dismissed Suzy Bates in the 8th over. Shreyanka Patil took the excellent catch of Suzy Bates. After this, in the next over, Asha Shobhana got Plimmer caught out. This time Mandhana took the catch at long on. New Zealand lost both its openers at the score of 67 and due to this, Team India put a break on the run rate of this team in the middle overs.
