Rawal top-scored with 122 runs — her maiden Cricket World Cup hundred — while Mandhana scored 109 runs, as the duo led India’s batting charge in Mumbai.
Jemimah Rodrigues then hit 76 not out off 55 balls as India finished with 340-3 in 49 overs before rain interruptions reduced the game to a 44-over affair.
New Zealand — chasing 325 — failed to get going despite Brooke Halliday’s 81 runs. The White Ferns can't advance after three defeats and two no-results in six games.
