NZW vs INDW | Only T20I: New Zealand, India face off in only T20I in Queenstown

New Zealand and India women's teams will play each other in the only T20I in Queenstown on Wednesday (February 9, 2022). The T20I game will be later followed by five ODIs. Mithali Raj who won't be a part of this T20I has said that the fixtures will be helpful for the players to give them an understanding of the conditions. 

“It is a different format. The team will be looking forward to winning the game. Having said that, this T20 will also give a fair idea about the wickets, how the players are coping with open ground,” Raj said in a virtual media interaction.

“We are here to use this series as preparation for the World Cup because it is the best way we get to know about the wickets and composition we will have next month. We want to put in our best standard of cricket so the team derives a lot of confidence when getting into the World Cup," she added.

AUSW vs ENGW | 3rd ODI: Australia thump England in final showdown to remain unbeaten in Ashes 2022

Australian women's team remained unbeaten against England after defeating them in the third ODI by 8 wickets in Melbourne. Chasing a target of 164, Australia were off to a good start after Alyssa Healy and Rachael Haynes stitched a partnership of 74 runs for the first wicket before Healy departed for 42 off 56. Haynes soon followed her after she was dismissed for 31 of 46, leaving Australia at 74/2. But captain Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry then came in for the rescue with an unbeaten 90-run stand for the third wicket. While Lanning went on to score a fifty, Perry remained unbeaten at 31 off 46 to take the side home. Sophie Ecclestone was the pick of the bowlers after she scalped one wicket at the cost of only 18 runs in 10 overs. Earlier, in the day, England had a disappointing start as they lost a couple of early wickets but Beaumont and Sciver then tried to steady the ship. The two batters scored 88 runs for the third wicket before Beaumont was sent back in the hut for 50. Her wicket certainly broke the shackles as the visitors lost wickets at regular intervals to get reduced to 138/8 before eventually getting bowled out for 163 in the final over. Sciver scored 46 for the side. Sutherland scalped a four-wicket haul for 31 runs in 9 overs while Schutt had two wickets to her name for 25 runs in 10 overs. "It's been an outstanding series. First of all, big thank you to England and their support staff for coming here and playing. There are always a few spanners that are thrown at us during a series. But it was good to see different people stand up and perform for us. I think we have had pretty good games in different patches," Lanning said after the match.
