Mithali’s comments came after the Women in Blue suffered a loss in the first ODI against New Zealand. Suzie Bates, Amy Satterthwaite, and Jess Kerr were the standout performers as the hosts defeated India by 62 runs in the first ODI here at the John Davies Oval, Queenstown on Saturday. “We definitely had our preparation camp.
