In recent years, spin bowling has been dominating women’s cricket with players like England’s Sophie Ecclestone and Australia’s Jess Jonassen making a significant impression.

Goswami is part of the Indian squad that is looking to avoid a 0-5 whitewash in the ODIs in New Zealand. The final match of the series is being played in Queenstown.
