NAGPUR: Australia were restricted to 103 for eight by New Zealand bowlers in the Women’s World Twenty20 Tenth Match Group A here at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium on Monday.
After their captain Meg Lanning won the toss and elected to bat first, Australian women made a worst start losing four wickets for just four runs. Three of them were dismissed for duck as off-spinner Leigh Kasperek got rid off the first three top-order batters.
However, it was Ellyse Perry who saved Australia from total collapse and scored 42 valuable runs.
She was supported to some extent by Jess Jonassen (23), Beth Mooney (15 not out) and Alex Blackwell (10).
Kasperek bagged three for 13 and leg-spinner Erin Bermingham claimed two for 23.
