We kept NZ to 2/137, which is our lowest wicket tally when bowling first and bowling the full 20 overs

The bigger issue though is Gardner going off with a finger injury




And with Gardner off I do question if King is the best replacement fielding option, especially she again dropped a pretty regulation catch with Devine scoring another 13 runs after the drop

Pity we didn't do this to NZ in the T20 WC

A double header at the same ground men and women?

I mean this in a totally good & respectful manner, but damn Mooney is a freak

[cats_09]

Highest womens T20 score in NZ - will require a record run chase to win this

 

[cats_09]

What is slightly crazy about today's win is that this is the first T20 series we've won in NZ
