Australia v Pakistan - 2022 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup

New Zealand Women will take on Australia Women at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in the 11th match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022.

Australia have lost only one ODI in the last four years. Led by Meg Lanning, they started the 2022 World Cup with two back-to-back wins. Having eased past England by 12 runs on the back of Rachel Haynes’ ton, the Aussies defeated Pakistan by seven wickets on Tuesday.

After electing to field first, Australia restricted Bismah Maroof and Co. to an under-par score of 190 for six. Barring Jess Jonassen, who bowled at an economy of 3.30, all the other bowlers got at least one wicket. Thereafter, Alyssa Healy’s 72 helped Australia track down the target in 34.4 overs.

New Zealand, led by Sophie Devine, on the other hand, have recovered from their initial three-run loss to West Indies. Having won two matches on the trot, they have climbed the ladder briskly. The White Ferns defeated India Women by 62 runs in their previous encounter.

After being put in to bat first, the hosts scored 260 following Amy Satterthwaite’s 75-run knock. Amelia Kerr also notched a gutsy half-century. From there on, Kerr and Lea Tahuhu picked up three wickets apiece to help New Zealand bowl India out for 198 in 46.4 overs.
