Australia beats New Zealand by 21 runs to secure Rose Bowl ODI clean sweep
Australia has powered to a 3-0 clean sweep of the Rose Bowl series against New Zealand, defending 7-149 to win by 21 runs in a rain-affected third ODI.
Key points:
- Australia’s world record now stands at 24 wins
- The match was reduced to 25 overs per side because of rain
- Australia restricted New Zealand to 9-128 in their innings
Mount Maunganui was soaked by rain on Saturday before umpires gave a surprising go-ahead for a 25-over contest.
Sent in by White Ferns captain Amy Satterthwaite, Australia coasted to 0-73 off 10 overs before its innings was rocked by New Zealand spinner Leigh Kasperek.
Kasperek threatened to halt Australia’s world record at 23 wins with a triple-wicket maiden on her way to figures of 3-24.
