Australia Women 134/5 (20/20 ov) v New Zealand Women 136/3 (18.1/20 ov) - New Zealand Women won by 7 wickets (with 11 balls remaining)
On Thursday, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 at Junction Oval, Melbourne.
The ladies in black won the decider by seven wickets with eleven deliveries remaining while chasing 135 runs.
After having won the opening match, the tourists went down in the second encounter at the same venue which meant that they were prepared to take on the hosts today.
New Zealand Women, who chose to field first made an early impact by grabbing their first wicket with only eight runs on the board.
Australia’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Charles-Lennox-James-c44309 Healy was the first to walk back to the pavilion after she had scored only a run.
However, EJ Villani and JE Cameron forged a strong stand in the second-wicket partnership as the two women hammered the Kiwi bowlers all around the park without a hint of remorse. The two ladies led their side towards 54 runs, before Mackay crashed the party
by dismissing EJ Villani, who crumbled after hammering 20 runs off 24 deliveries.
Cameron was then joined by AJ Blackwell; however, this partnership came to its end with 75 runs on the board with the departure of the latter who crumbled after she had scored only nine runs. The wicket of Cameron for 48 was a big blow for New Zealand as
she perished with her side on 88.
With LC Sthalekar unbeaten on 24, Australia managed to post a reasonable score of 134 runs on the board in 20 overs.
With their pace attack, Australia had a mighty chance of wreaking havoc upon their rivals by giving some outstanding performance in the field.
However, their plans went awry as New Zealand openers LR Doolan and SW Bates forged a stand of 101 runs, literally taking the game away from the home team.
Finally, it was Australia’s top all-rounder EA Perry who broke the partnership by dismissing Bates for 67 runs.
With 108 on the board, Doolan was the next to find her way back to the pavilion as she was dismissed by Chappell with 35 runs to her name.
Nonetheless it was too late for Australia to stop the Kiwis as the tourists reached the score in 18.1 overs.
