Preview
In the last match, Australia defeated New Zealand by 5 wickets in Mackay. New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first, scoring 143/7. They faced a major setback as skipper Sophie Devine was ruled out due to a foot issue. Despite Maddy Green (35) and Suzie Bates (33) scoring well, their innings could not take off as Australia’s bowlers shared the spoils. Megan Schutt’s swing, Tayla Vlaeminck’s extra pace and Molineux’s guile made it difficult for the team to score in the powerplay.
On the other hand, Australia’s chase began shakily and they lost three wickets for 44 runs. Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Wareham then added 50 runs for the fifth wicket as Australia chased down the target in 18.4 overs. Phoebe Litchfield was awarded the Player of the Match for her unbeaten half century (64 runs off 43 balls). Molly Penfold was the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand (2/24).
Ashleigh Gardner who was ruled out of the first T20I due to concussion and she is listed as available for the second T20I and is likely to replace Heather Graham. Sophie Devine’s selection remains in jeopardy and her inclusion in the playing XI is a game time decision.
