Australia chased down New Zealand 's 6-146 with five balls to spare to complete a clean sweep in their three-match T20 series.Australia's T20 women's world champions have completed a clean sweep of New Zealand with a tense Brisbane run-chase just hours before departing for their title defence in Dubai.
Australia will be confident in their defence after again cruising to victory against the New Zealanders, who have lost their last 10 games in the format. Australia's chase began slowly with Beth Mooney deceiving to complete a rare, lean series that featured a highest score of 13 and Alyssa Healy unable to find top gear.
There were some nervous moments when Gardner immediately followed Perry to the sheds, Fran Jonas then dropping a simple catch to give Phoebe Litchfield a life with five runs still to get. "The opportunity to bat up the order in the power play was a bit of fun ... and I feel like the ball's coming out okay as well, so good signs leading into the World Cup."However, veteran captain Sophie Devine said there was enough to like in this series to offer them hope on the early-morning flight to Dubai.
