Speaking on her batting and her approach on power hitting, Pooja said, "In ODIs last 10 overs are very crucial and we have prepared according to that in the practice and the in the Challenger Trophy and I would like to use the same confidence here.

Meanwhile, India wicket-keeper Taniya Bhatia said she has evolved as a player and is looking forward to the New Zealand series.

"I had focused more on power hitting, I've evolved as a player and I'm looking forward to the series," said Taniya Bhatia.
