In India's opening match, Goswami bowled a brilliant spell, returning figures of 2/26 in the win over Pakistan.
In an illustrious career spanning two decades, Goswami has now featured in five ODI World Cups since 2005.
In Hamilton on Thursday, Pooja Vastrakar took four wickets as India restricted New Zealand to 260/9 here at Seddon Park.
