Australia-W Vs New Zealand-W Live Score, Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Pitch Report 

Mel Jones and Pommie Mbangwa: The temperature is slightly cooler at 36 degrees Celsius, and the pitch remains unchanged from yesterday, that is 73m straight boundary and 59m and 63m square boundaries. The conditions favor spinners, with lower bounce expected. There’s plenty of even grass on the pitch, which should help maintain its integrity.

Australia Vs New Zealand Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Player Of The Match

Megan Schutt is named Player of the Match for her stunning 3 wickets at an economy rate of 0.90.

In the post-match interview, she said: I feel I have lost a few litres, but it was a crucial match, they played well against India and so to come out like that was clinical. It ebbed and flowed in the first innings, we thought we'd get to 160 at one stage, but we lost a few wickets and so were probably 10-15 runs short, but we knew if we do well in the powerplay, it will set us up. I just bowled to the basics, we kept to our plans, to play in heat like this, the extensive preparations did help. It's a World Cup and we certainly want to enjoy ourselves, it's the first World Cup for some of the players, we want to make sure that they do enjoy the experience.
