Can New Zealand score a consolation win over Dominant Aussies
Australia will win the match and whitewash the series 3-0
Australia Women`s team returned to cricket field in good fashion with back-to-back victories to seal the T20I series. Australia won the matches comfortably by 17 runs & 8 wickets margin. They will look to continue their dominance over their neighbors in the third and last T20I match to seal the series in their favor. New Zealand will be dejected after losing the T20I series but will look to win the last t20I to get some much needed confidence before going into the ODI series. We can expect a yet another riveting contest between two of the quality sides in the women’s cricket.
Australia openers Alyssa Healy (33 runs) and Beth Mooney (24 runs) set the platform with their 50-run partnership. Meg Lanning (26 runs) and Richard Haynes (40 runs) took their team across the line with a 65-run unbeaten partnership to seal the match.
Earlier Australia bowlers bowled out New Zealand for just 128 runs. Delissa Kimmince and Georgia Wareham picked up 3 wickets each in the match. Sophie Moillineux and Nikola Carey chipped in with 2 & 1 wickets respectively in the match.
Top players to bet on:
Rachael Haynes – Rachael Haynes has scores of 23 & 40* in the two matches. She looked very comfortable in the crease scoring at a strike rate of 120+ with 8 boundaries to her name.
Delissa Kimmince – Delissa Kimmince has 5 wickets in the two matches and is the leading wicket-taker in this series. We expect her to pick up more wickets in this match too.

New Zealand was rocked by the early wickets of Sophie Devine and Katey martin. But Suzie Bates (22 runs) and Amy Sattherwite (30 runs) looked to build the momentum before being dismissed in quick time. Their middle order collapsed from 68/2 to 128/10 in no time.
New Zealand bowlers were left to defend an average score just 128 runs and they were no match to Aussie top order in the chase. Lea Tahuhu and Amelia Kerr picked up a wicket each but was never threatened to derail the Aussie chase.
Top players to bet on:
Sophie Devine – Sophie Devine had a silent outing after a superb all-round show in the first T20I match. We expect her to stand from the front in the third and last T20I match.
Suzie Bates – Suzie Bates got starts in both the matches scoring 26 & 33 runs respectively. She must look to capitalize on the starts and post a big score to help their team win in this match.

Brisbane is expected to have bright and sunny weather with no chances of rain on the match day. We expect the match to go ahead with no interruptions.
Allan Border field is one of the good tracks in the Australian circuit where we can expect scores in the range of 140-150 runs. Batsmen will find it hard due to the slowness of the track owing to its used nature. Bowlers must look to trouble the batters early in their innings unsettling them.
New Zealand won the toss and lost to win and decided to field first and bat first respectively. We expect both teams to chase the total in this match as chasing is easier when compared to batting first.
Australia made the return to international cricket and wasted no time to assert their dominance with a series win. They will look to continue their good form and momentum going ahead in this match. New Zealand are struggling to go past the Aussies in the last 2-3 years’ timeframe and will hope a win in this match will change their fortunes going ahead to the ODIs. We expect Australia to win this match and series by 3-0 margin.
Australia will win the match and whitewash the series 3-0
