Ruthless Australia humble New Zealand by 82 runs in second T20I

Annabel Sutherland grabs record bowling figures of 4-8
Beth Mooney blasts 70 to help Australia crush New Zealand

4th over: Australia 43-0 (Mooney 9, Voll 33) Bowling change for New Zealand. It will be Rosemary Mair. First ball is wide down legside and Voll works the second behind square for two. Mair now goes wide outside off and Voll gives it the axeman’s jazz but can’t pierce the field. Again, Mair strays wide down leg and Voll doesn’t miss out, swatting it off the hip for another once-bounce boundary into the fine leg fence. And again! This one is precision mixed with power as the Toowoomba tornado thumps it to the fence between cover and extra cover. Ouch! Australia’s run-rate has rocketed to 10.75.

3rd over: Australia 32-0 (Mooney 9, Voll 23) Jess Kerr returns and Mooney greets her with a ripped boundary over mid-on. A quick single brings Voll on strike and she gets down on one knee and thumps it over mid wicket! Georgia Voll is on fire today.
