Right then, that is it from this one-sided affair where Australia Women thrashes New Zealand Women. We have a double header lined up in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup on 9th October, Wednesday. First up, it will be South Africa Women taking on Scotland Women at 10 am GMT. Later it is the repeat of this year's Women's Asia Cup final as India Women clashes against Sri Lanka Women. That game will begin at 2 pm GMT, but as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up for both matches. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Alyssa Healy, the victorious skipper of Australia Women, reflects on their performance. She admits some disappointment with their batting towards the end of the innings, feeling they could have been smarter, but praises their exceptional bowling effort. Healy notes that the wicket played as expected, with a bit more bounce, and highlights how both teams bowled brilliantly, particularly in the backend of the innings, showcasing the right approach to handling the surface.
Sophie Devine, the captain of New Zealand Women says that they needed a good start but they let the asking rate get really big. Adds that it is a disappointing defeat but they will not dwell upon it too much. Mentions that they got themselves into a big hole which is not ideal against the best team in the world. Says that with the ball they strangled too far away from the stumps and were better in that aspect against India. Ends by saying still two games to go but they don't want to look too far ahead and now the game against Sri Lanka Women is their most important fixture.
Megan Schutt is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for her exceptional bowling effort. She expresses her relief after the win, noting, 'Yeah, I feel like I have lost a few kilos. It was a crucial match for us and I’m happy to get the win.' Reflecting on the game, she mentions how the first innings fluctuated, saying they initially aimed for 160 runs but fell short. However, the team performed well with the ball, especially during the powerplay. Schutt credits her simplicity and use of conditions for her success, adding that the team's focus on fitness has paid off. She emphasizes the importance of enjoying small victories and taking things one game at a time, especially for players experiencing their first World Cup.
Presenation Time...
Earlier in the game, the Aussies posted the highest first innings total at this ground in this T20 World Cup. It was mainly the top order who scored the runs with Beth Mooney being the anchor scoring 40 off 32. Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy after getting reprives played good cameos of 30 and 24 respectively while Phoebe Litchfield contributed too. Melie Kerr was the standout bowler for the Kiwis with 4 wickets to her name while Rosemary Mair and Brooke Halliday chipped in with a couple each. While chasing, well it was never really a chase as New Zealand Women got bundled out for just 88 runs.
Australia Women, on the other hand, were absolutely brilliant with the ball. They were right on top from the start and never let the batters settle in and gave nothing away. Not only the spinners, but the pacers also kept things tight and forced the batters to make mistakes. They completely changed the game after the halfway mark and picked up at least one wicket in four consecutive overs. Megan Schutt was sensational with figures of (3.2-1-3-3). Annabel Sutherland also picked up 3 while Sophie Molineux got a couple. Georgia Wareham and Tahlia McGrath chipped in with one each.
After that, the Kiwis just collapsed like anything. They went from 56/3 to 88 all out and not only faced defeat in this game but also took a huge hit on their NRR that could prove to be crucial at the end of the group stages. No one expected this after their solid performance against India Women, but different grounds, different results and now they will have to win their remaining two games to keep their hopes alive in this tournament.
New Zealand Women were not able at all to get going at the start and only managed to score 9 runs in the first 3 overs losing Georgia Plimmer early as well. Suzie Bates and Melie Kerr then steadied things up for a bit but with the pitch slowing down, boundary scoring was becoming more and more difficult. The asking rate was also creeping up and after adding 47 runs together, both the batters fell in consecutive overs right after the Drinks break.
THE AUSSIES JUST MADE IT LOOK EASY! The defending champions get their 13th consecutive win in the Women's T20 World Cup and it was complete domination from them. New Zealand Women never really were in the running in this game and lost by a huge margin of 60 runs taking them down from the first position to third in Group A.
