Indian captain Mithali Raj on Tuesday said that they are targeting a clean sweep and there won't be any let up in the team's intensity after the series-clinching win in the second women's ODI against New Zealand here.

India have dominated New Zealand so far in the series and won the second game by eight runs. The third and final ODI will be played on Friday.

"We definitely want to make it 3-0. At the same time, we will try and give some of the youngsters an opportunity," said Mithali.

"Initially, a lot of people asked me if the spinners can turn the match around on these wickets. The spinners have been doing well from word go and Smriti (Mandhana) has been amongst runs and so has been Jemimah (Rodrigues)."
"It gives a lot of confidence getting into the next game but both the games were on the low scoring side and whoever has got opportunity has got runs."
Asked about her role in the batting department, Mithali added: "As long as I am getting runs, I would be more than happy to play the supporting role or whatever the team's demands are."
