AUS-W vs NZ-W Live Cricket Score

15.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Lea Tahuhu has done it again! Tahuhu comes back into the attack ans starts with a pitched up delivery around leg stump. Alyssa Healy backs away and looks to loft it straight down the ground. Healy is a bit early in the swing and ends up just lifting it down to long on where Maddy Green moves to her left and takes it safely. Healy departs after a fine knock and Tahuhu gets the breakthrough New Zealand Women desperately needed. 126/4

0.4 OUT! Oh, brilliant! What a catch from young Eden Carson at point! Beth Mooney departs for a duck and this is just the start New Zealand Women needed! On a length and outside off. Bit of shape away from Mooney and she drives it away from her body. The ball goes off the outside edge towards the right of point where Eden Carson dives full length and takes a stunner. Lea Tahuhu strikes in the first over! 2/1

9.4 OUT! BOWLED! Amelia Kerr strikes! This is a crucial breakthrough and a superb knock from the Australian skipper comes to an end. Kerr is a very clever bowler and she shows it once again here. Bowls it touch short, close to off and it is a googly at 75 kph. Lanning makes room to cut it as she fails to pick the googly and the ball goes onto knock the off pole. Can New Zealand Women capitalise on this opening now? 72/2

10.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Great move to bring back Lea Tahuhu and Ashleigh Gardner walks back for a low score. Tahuhu pitches it up on the pads, looking for the away swinger and Gardner tries to tuck it away. Gardner closes the face of the bat early and ends up getting a leading edge. The ball lobs up around backward point where Eden Carson takes a simple catch. Australia Women are now three down. 76/3

17.4 OUT! LBW! Ellyse Perry pre-meditates and shuffles right across the stumps. Amelia Kerr sees this and bowls it flatter on the stumps. Perry falls over as she looks to pull the ball off one knee and misses. The ball thuds into the pads and there is a loud appeal for lbw and it is given. Perry gets up and reviews. No spike on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows it is crashing into middle. Amelia Kerr gets the wicket and Perry departs after a quickfire knock. 158/6

16.3 OUT! RUN OUT! A horrible mix up in the middle and Grace Harris has to depart. Hayley Jensen bowls it full and on leg stump, Grace Harris flicks it away through mid-wicket for one and looks for the second right away. Harris is halfway down the track when Ellyse Perry sends her back. Lea Tahuhu in the deep fires in a wide throw at the bowler's end but Jensen does well to latch onto it and under-arm it onto the stumps before Harris got back. Tahlia McGrath is the next batter in. 148/5

19.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent bowling this from Jess Kerr and New Zealand Women have done extremely well to pull things back. Slower one, full and around off, Tahlia McGrath stays deep in her crease and looks to loft it over extra cover. There's not much pace on the ball and McGrath ends up chipping it toward extra cover where Sophie Devine takes a simple catch. 167/9

18 OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder and Maddy Green jujst about holds on. Amelia Kerr serves a full toss on middle and leg and the ball just dips on the batter a bit. Jess Jonassen looks for the slog-sweep but doesn't quite swing freely and ends up hitting it flat toward deep mid-wicket. Maddy Green there almost spills the catch but manages to hand on and Amelia Kerr picks up her third wicket of the game. Jess Jonassen is out for a duck and New Zealand Women finishing on a high here. 158/7

19 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Australia Women lose their eigth wicket. Hayley Jensen rolls her fingers over the ball and bowls it on a length down leg. Alana King gets a bit low and looks to slog it away over the mid-wicket fence. King only manages to loft it towards deep square leg where Lea Tahuhu settles under it and takes it safely just inside the ropes. 165/8

0.1 OUT! TIMBER! An inventive shot right from the start by Suzie Bates and she pays the ultimate prize. Megan Schutt bowls this one full and on leg stump, Bates shuffles across the stumps and gets down on one knee looking to paddle it away. The ball is just full and Bates gets herself in a tangle as the ball goes on to crash into the stumps. Schutt is elated and Bates departs without scoring. 5/1

0.5 OUT! LBW! What a dream start for Megan Schutt and Australia Women as both the New Zealand Women openers walk back for a duck. Schutt goes a bit wider of the crease and angles in a fullish length delivery from around off stump. Sophie Devine gets across the line and looks to flick it away but instead Devine ends up playing all around it and gets pinged in front. There is a huge appeal and the finger is raised. Devine reviews but there's nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows three reds. New Zealand Women in early trouble here. 6/2

5.2 OUT! GONE! Is that a catch? Yes, it is! Darcie Brown and Ellyse Perry are high-fiving eachother but there isn't much interest from anyone else. The third umpire is called in and the soft signal is not out. She checks a couple of different angles and is satisfied that the fingers are underneath the ball and the decision is overturned. Ellyse Perry bangs it in short and over off stump, Bernadine Bezuidenhout looks to club it over mid off but mistimes it badly. Darcie Brown runs forward and puts in the dive just claw the ball just milimeters off the ground. Bezuidenhout cannot believe it as the ball seemed to have half-vollied into the hands and the soft signal was also not out. 26/3

8.3 OUT! BOWLED! Ashleigh Gardner knocks over Amelia Kerr and New Zealand Women are slipping further down. Tosses it up nicely and bowls it nice and full on middle and off. Kerr goes for her favorite sweep shot but misses and the ball takes faint inside edge before cannoning into the stumps. Gardner is elated and Kerr is disappointed with herself. 51/5

7.1 OUT! RUN OUT! In a game of fine margins, New Zealand Women are coming up second best every single time. Tahlia McGrath bowls it a bit shorter an at the stumps. Amelia Kerr walks toward the ball and heaves it to wide long on. They looks for two but there is a bit of stutter from Maddy Green who is running to the danger end. Grace Harris in the deep picks up the ball and fires in a throw toward the bowler. Tahlia McGrath whips off the bails and the replays show that Green's bat was on the line when the bails came off and she has to walk back. 38/4

11.5 OUT! LBW! Ashleigh Gardner gets her third wicket and it is her second in this over and this has been a pretty poor batting performance from the Kiwis. Pitched on off, touch shorter and it turns into Rowe. She goes back and tries to tuck it towards the leg side but misses it completely. The ball hits her pads and there is a big appeal from Gardner. The umpire raises the finger and though Rowe reviews it, it does not help as there is no bat involved as confirmed by the UltraEdge. The Ball Tracking also shows three reds and Rowe has to walk back. 65/8

10.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! Brown comes back into the attack and strikes straightaway. Bowls it full and on middle. Jensen drives it uppishly towards mid on with no timing and power on it and ends up giving an easy catch to Jess Jonassen at mid on. She takes it safely and New Zealand sink further! 61/6

11.1 OUT! CAUGHT! THis is getting too easy for Australia Women now! On the shorter side turning into middle at 88 kph. Lea Tahuhu just works it awkwardly towards left of short mid-wicket and Grace Harris takes an easy catch as New Zealand Women lose their seventh. 64/7

13.2 OUT! BOWLED! Ashleigh Gardner gets her fourth wicket and takes the revenge of the six in the previous delivery with some style. Bowls it on the shorter side, pitching on off and turning in. Jess Kerr makes room and tries to cut it but misses and the ball knocks over the stumps. 75/9

14 OUT! LBW! Ashleigh Gardner gets a five-wicket haul and Australia Women complete a thumping win here in Boland Park! She bowls it quick and touch shorter of fuller length, on off. It turns in sharply and Eden Carson gets stuck in her crease as she tries to work it towards the leg side. The ball hits her pads and Ashleigh Gardner goes up in appeal. The umpire too raises the finger without taking much time and New Zealand Women have been bundled out for just 76! Australia Women win by 97 runs! 76/10
