The stage is set at the Basin Reserve in Wellington as New Zealand Women get ready to face Australia Women in the third and final ODI of the series on Monday, December 23. After rain played spoilsport in the first match and the Aussies bagged a comfortable win in the second, the White Ferns will be itching to level the series.

NZ-W vs AU-W 3rd ODI Preview

The second ODI saw New Zealand Women’s bowlers struggling to contain Australia’s batting firepower. Molly Penfold was the standout performer with 4/42 in her 10 overs, but the rest of the attack couldn’t quite keep the Aussie batters in check. Rosemary Mair and Eden Carson picked up wickets, but both were expensive. Big names like Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr drew blanks, and they’ll need to step up if the Kiwis are to bounce back.

With the bat, it wasn’t smooth sailing either. Suzie Bates fell early for just 4, and while Isabella Rose James (27) and Amelia Kerr (38) looked promising, they couldn’t convert their starts into something match-winning. Skipper Devine chipped in with 15, Brooke Halliday managed only 7, and Maddy Green was left unbeaten on 26 when the rain arrived. The White Ferns found themselves behind by 65 runs via the DLS method, handing the Aussies a comfortable win.

On the other hand, Australia Women made the most of the conditions after being invited to bat first. Annabel Sutherland stole the show with an unbeaten 105 off just 81 balls, anchoring the innings and giving the Kiwis a mountain to climb. Contributions from Alyssa Healy (34), Phoebe Litchfield (25), and Ellyse Perry (29) ensured a huge total of 291/7.

With the ball, Kim Garth was the pick of the bowlers with an impressive 2/17 in her six overs. Megan Schutt and Darcie Brown were economical but wicketless, while Perry and Ashleigh Gardner chipped in with a wicket each. The Aussies’ all-around performance left the White Ferns playing catch-up before the rain sealed the deal.
