Catch OUT. OUT! Caught. Jess Kerr to Kim Garth. Leg cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, caught by Plimmer. Australia concluded their innings with a commanding total. They maintained the upper hand throughout, with a solid performance from the top order, particularly Phoebe Litchfield, who delivered an impressive knock of 45 runs. Ellyse Perry also provided strong support from the other end. However, it was Ashleigh Gardner who stole the show with a brilliant century, guiding the team to a strong position. On the other hand, the New Zealand team struggled to gain momentum from the beginning. Although they managed to take some crucial wickets after the power play, they were unable to restrict the flow of runs from the Australian batters. Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr stood out as notable performers, claiming three wickets each. Join us for the run chase shortly!
