    3(4)&5/12(3)
That is it from this game and the reigning champions Australia Women start their campaign on a positive note. The action in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 continues on Sunday, the 12th of February with another doubleheader. It is an all-Asian affair as in the first game of the day, India Women will take on arch-rivals Pakistan Women at 6.30 pm IST (1 pm GMT). Then in the second game, Sri Lanka Women square off aginst Bangladesh Women at 10.30 pm IST (5 pm GMT). Both these games will be played at the Newlands in Cape Town and you can join us a lot early for the build-up for both those games. Cheers!
Meg Lanning, the captain of Australia Women says that she is very happy and they came into this game without knowing what to expect in these conditions. Feels that Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry batted exceptionally well and adds that she was in the mood and was disappointed to get out. Mentions that with the ball early wickets made all the difference. Tells that Ashleigh Gardner has been bowling quite well for a while and says that she has worked very hard to get to this position.
New Zealand Women skipper, Sophie Devine says that they were really poor in this game in all facets of the game. Tells that Lea Tahuhu was quite good and Amelia Kerr was also outstanding but feels that 170 was always going to be tough. Tells that it was a good effort from them to take wickets at the backend of the innings and feels that they need to learn from this game and be smart in a tournament with a quick turnaround. Tells that they need to figure out the conditions and then take it forward from there and feels that it probably played slower and lower than they expected but reckons that it is all part of the game.
Ashleigh Gardner (3-0-12-5) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for her brilliant bowling figures. Gardner says that the win was set up by their batters and that gave the bowling unit the flexibility and luxury. Mentions that they started well with the ball and she is just lucky to get wickets in the end. States that she has worked on her wrist position to get up and over the ball to try to turn it. Says that she also tried to bowl fuller in length and says that wickets have been slow and the bounce is bit up and down and reckons that the bowlers need to bowl stump-to-stump line.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Sophie Devine opted to put Australia Women into bat and Lea Tahuhu got them off to a perfect start by dismissing Beth Mooney for a duck. That is the best it got for a while as Meg Lanning and Alyssa Healy put on a big stand. Amelia Kerr did break the stand but Healy got to 50 and Ellyse Perry came out with aggressive intent and went on to score a quickfire 40. Lea Tahuhu picked up three wickets for the Kiwis and so did Amelia Kerr. Australia Women were able to get to 173 which was their best score aginst these opponents. Coming to the chase, it all went wrong up top for New Zealand Women after which they never recovered and Australia Women went on to win comfortably.
New Zealand Women were simply outplayed by Australia Women but a lot of the blame for this surprisingly poor batting display will go to their openers. Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates are one of the most destructive opening pairs in the world and the way they got out in the very first over put the team under pressure. After that, Amelia Kerr just couldn'ty get the ball away and once Bernadine Bezuidenhout fell, the White Ferns lost wickets in a heap. Kerr did hit a flurry of boundaries at one stage but fell soon after and a few boundaries here and there from the tailenders hardly made any difference. New Zealand Women have been dealt a huge blow in terms of net run rate as well and will have to bounce back really strongly in the next game to get their campaign back on track.
Australia Women  had a pretty big total on the board and got off to a perfect start as Megan Schutt knocked over the talismanic opening pair of the White Ferns in the very first over itself. After that the Aussies were always ahead in the game and kept on bowling good line and lengths. This constant pressure brought them regular wickets as well and they managed to bundle out their opponents with 36 balls to spare. Everyone apart from Jess Jonassen and Tahlia McGrath were economical with Ashleigh Gardner being the pick of the bowler with a superb five-wicket haul, her best-ever performance in a T20I game.
A real statement performance this from the reigning champions and Australia Women have simply steamrolled their Trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand Women to start their title-defense in style. It is a big win for the Aussies but it is the heaviest defeat suffered in terms of runs for the White Ferns in T20Is.

Ashleigh Gardner To Eden Carson OUT!
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!

Ashleigh Gardner To Hannah Rowe OUT!
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.

Darcie Brown To Hayley Jensen OUT!
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!
Drinks break. This game looks done and dusted at the moment! Australia have buried any hopes New Zealand had coming into this run-chase with regular wickets and the Kiwis have a humongous task of notching up 113 runs from 60 balls now. However, New Zealand need to take this game deep and get as closer to the total as possible as net run-rate could play a big role latter in the tournament. Australia Women, on the other hand, would be looking to seal a big win here and let's see how things pan out from hereon.

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.

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.

Megan Schutt To Amelia Kerr
A length ball, swinging in from outside off, Amelia Kerr pushes it away with soft hands wide of backward point for a single. A fascinating first over as 7 runs and two wickets come off it.
Amelia Kerr is the next batter in.

Megan Schutt To Sophie Devine OUT!
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.

Megan Schutt To Suzie Bates OUT!
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.

Megan Schutt To Suzie Bates
FIVE WIDES! A real loosener to start with from Megan Schutt as she bowl it on a good length and way down the leg side. Alyssa Healy dives to her left but fails to cut it off and the ball runs away into the fine leg fence. New Zealand Women are up and running.
