AUSW vs NZW Live Cricket Score

3 OUT! The White Ferns draw first blood. This is such a big, big wicket. Jensen bowls one from wide of the crease and gets it to angle into Healy. Healy looks to clear the infield on the leg side but fails to middle it. The ball lobs towards mid-wicket where Amelia Kerr takes a few steps back and takes the catch. Replays later show that the bat turned in her hand while going for the shot and hence she failed to generate the desired power. 20/1

17.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant from Suzie Bates! Peterson is just superb with the ball in hand. She floats on off and invites Mooney to go for the kill. Beth there obliges as she takes the risk of going into the wind by playing the lofted shot over the bowler's head. She did hit that cleanly but playing in the direction of the wind meant that the ball failed to go the distance as Suzie Bates runs to his left and takes a good tumbling catch to send Mooney packing. Australia would feel that they have been robbed off the momentum here. This wicket should make the difference in the final total. 122/4

7.3 OUT! The skipper departs. Sheer misjudgement from her. It is tossed up on off, Meg goes early into the sweep there only to get a top edge on it. The ball flies towards short fine leg where Lea Tahuhu slides and takes the catch. The sweep is not the strength of Lanning but still she went through with it. In the end, it brought about her downfall. 52/2

14.4 OUT! BOWLED! Gardner departs now. This was bowled a bit slower through the air and on off and middle, Gardner goes for a wild swing of the bat only to miss it and see her furniture behind get shattered. Ashleigh there failed to get to the pitch of the ball as it sneaked through the gap between the bat and the pad. 104/3

19.5 OUT! STUMPED! Finally, Kerr gets some reward. She has bowled exceptionally but has only one wicket to show for her efforts. Floated, outside off, Perry comes down the track but swings months early. The ball dips onto her, goes beneath the bat and Priest does the rest. Decent cameo by Perry. 154/5

3.5 OUT! LBW! Jonassen provides the break. Very full and very straight. Priest initially looks to slog but then changes her shot to try and flick. She misses and is hit on the back pad, right in front of the stumps. The umpire raises her finger on the appeal. Priest looks at Devine regarding the review but is sent on her way. Ball Tracker shows it to be crashing into leg stump. New Zealand need 131 more from 97 balls. 25/1

13.1 OUT! STUMPED! Beautifully bowled by Georgia Wareham. The leggie perhaps got a divine intervention that Sophie would jump out. Floats this wide outside off, Devine cannot reach it and swings hard. Misses and Healy behind does not. Big, big wicket. 75 more needed from 41 balls. 81/3

8 OUT! LBW! What a review! Golden call from the bowler. She was the only one confident. A short ball, around middle, Bates looked to pull but missed. Now, she was hit around the groin and Wareham went up in an appeal. The keeper supported her but was not convinced that it is out, when the umpire shook the head. Meg Lanning came across and Healy was smiling. She was not sure about the review. Wareham was adamant that the review be taken and voila! Ball Tracker shows the ball to be hitting the middle stump! Excellent review, gutsy call. Cannot blame the umpire for not giving that. Looked too high. 103 more needed from 72 balls. 53/2

15.4 OUT! STUMPED! First, a boundary, then a wicket! Wareham strikes again. Her third wicket. Exact carbon copy of the Devine dismissal. Gives this plenty of loop, slows the pace down and puts it wide outside off. Green jumps down the track, is nowhere near the pitch of the ball, misses the turning ball. Healy doesn't. End of a fine cameo from Green. 48 more needed from 26 balls. 108/4

16.4 OUT! BOWLED! Full and in line of the stumps, Kerr comes down the track and swings hard. Misses. Timber. 115/5

16.5 OUT! CAUGHT! 2 IN 2! Full and outside off, Jensen looks to go big, over mid off but cannot clear a leaping Nichola Carey. On a hat-trick, is Schutt! 115/6

18.2 OUT! BOWLED! Right through. Full and straight, Peterson swings hard but misses. The ball hits the timber. 27 needed from 10 balls now. 129/7
