Australia wins by 92 runs, Sutherland takes 4 wickets

Australia won decisively against New Zealand, securing a 92-run victory in Tauranga. This win gives Australia a 2-0 lead in the three-match Twenty20 series. Australia's star player, Annabel Sutherland, excelled by taking four wickets for just eight runs in 2.1 overs. She achieved these remarkable figures by bowling out both opener Georgia Plimmer and veteran Sophie Devine for a first-ball duck. Batting first after winning the toss, Australia scored an impressive total of 204 runs. Beth Mooney was the standout batsman, scoring 70 runs off 42 balls. This performance came just days after scoring an unbeaten 75 in the previous match. New Zealand struggled in their innings, losing key players early. They were at 4-45 after just two overs. Amelia Kerr was the only bright spot for New Zealand, scoring 40 runs before being out by Australia's leg-spinner Alana King, who also took three wickets in the match. Australia's depth was highlighted by their strong performance despite missing star all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner, who is out due to injury. The Australian team continues to dominate the series as they look to complete a clean sweep.
