The India women's cricket team toured New Zealand in February 2022.[1] The tour consisted of five Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and one Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I).[2] The WODI matches were used as preparation for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup, also taking place in New Zealand.[3]

The initial tour schedule had matches in North New Zealand.[4] However, on 27 January 2022, New Zealand Cricket announced a change to the itinerary, with all the matches being held at the John Davies Oval.[5][6]

New Zealand won the one-off WT20I match by 18 runs following an all-round performance from Lea Tahuhu.[7] New Zealand won the first WODI match by 62 runs after Suzie Bates scored a century.[8] As part of New Zealand's "contingency planning" for the Women's Cricket World Cup, Amy Satterthwaite captained the team for the second WODI match.[9] New Zealand went on to win the match by three wickets, with Amelia Kerr scoring an unbeaten 119 runs.[10] New Zealand won the third match by three wickets,[11] winning the series with two matches to play.[12] It was India's tenth consecutive loss in WODIs after batting first.[13]

The fourth WODI match was reduced to 20 overs per side due to rain.[14] New Zealand won the match by 63 runs,[15] following another all-round performance from Amelia Kerr.[16] India won the fifth and final WODI match by six wickets, with New Zealand winning the series 4–1.[17]

India's Smriti Mandhana, Meghna Singh and Renuka Singh missed the WT20I match and the opening WODI fixture due to being in managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) in New Zealand.[22] As a result, Sabbhineni Meghana was added to India's WODI squad, after previously only being named in their WT20I squad.[23] Simran Bahadur was also added to India's WODI squad, making her debut in the second match.[24] Following the conclusion of the second WODI, Smriti Mandhana, Meghna Singh and Renuka Singh were all out of quarantine and available to play in the remaining matches.[25] Ekta Bisht was added to India's squad for the third WODI.[26] Brooke Halliday was ruled out of New Zealand's squad for the last two WODI matches, after being deemed a close contact to someone with COVID-19.[27]
