New Zealand Women 125/5(19.3 overs)

New Zealand win by five wickets and make it 2-1 in the series. First win against Australia since February 2017. Amelia Kerr with a superb all-round day. Did Meg Lanning make a tactical error by not bowling Georgia Wareham for her final over? That is a very important result for New Zealand. Australia weren't at their best with the bat but fought very hard in the field. Sets things up nicely for the one-day series which starts on Saturday.

Player of the Match is Amelia Kerr. "Felt pretty good to get a win against a quality side, nice to get a bit of momentum going into the one-dayers. Awesome to see Jess out there and do so well with the ball."

Play of the series is Ash Gardner. "One of the longest pre-seasons we've had and was nice to do other things. We worked really hard with NSW. We are pretty flexible within our batting order, whether that's me batting higher or lower it's about adapting to the situation."

Sophie Devine. "We know how hard we've been training so to finally put that out there was deserved. A bit of confidence moving into the one-dayers. It's a really quick shift now."

Meg Lanning. "There's lots to learn. Unfortunately we couldn't continue the momentum but New Zealand are a world-class side and we expected then to bounce back.It's nice to be back playing cricket after the last six months. Looking forward to the ODIs. Will be a great battle."

I'll wrap things up there for today. Thanks for joining us for this T20I series. From Andrew McGlashan it's goodbye for now.

Schutt to Amelia Kerr, FOUR runs

and that's the game! Amelia Kerr does the job, swings a back-of-a-length delivery through square leg and finds the gap

19.2

Schutt to Amelia Kerr, FOUR runs

that could be the shot! Dispatches a length ball over mid-off with a thumping lofted drive

19.1

Schutt to Jensen, 1 run

length ball angling in at the stumps, driven into the off side, could have been out with a direct hit..or actually just a decent throw at the stumps!

So it's eight needed off the last over. Chance of a Super Over here. Megan Schutt will bowl.
