AUS-W vs NZ-W 3rd ODI Highlights
Australia wrapped up their 24 games ICC Women’s Championship run with a dominant 75-run win over New Zealand at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Monday. They secured an unassailable lead in the standings, marking this as Australia’s third consecutive Championship title. With this win, they also complete a series win over New Zealand in the Rose Bowl, after the first match was washed out. With this victory, Australia heads into next month’s multi-format Ashes series in strong winning form, while New Zealand now faces a tense wait for Cricket World Cup qualification. Let’s look at AUS-W vs NZ-W 3rd ODI Highlights.
Aussies Shine over Washed out New Zealand
Australian all-rounder Annabel Sutherland continued her exceptional form as she took 3-39 to lead Australia to a 75-run win over New Zealand, securing a 2-0 series victory. After Ashleigh Gardner’s career-best 74 helped Australia reach a strong total of 290, Sutherland’s key dismissals of Bella James and Suzie Bates led to New Zealand’s collapse, all out for 215.
Sutherland, who recently scored back-to-back centuries, proved her all-rounder credentials. Legspinner Alana King also impressed with her 3-34. Gardner’s 74 was a highlight, as she powered Australia’s innings after Phoebe Litchfield’s 50, but was dismissed shy of a century. This win completed Australia’s dominance in the series.

Australia’s Dominant Victory in ICC Women’s Championship
After finishing their 24-match ICC Women’s Championship campaign with 39 points, Australia bundled up an unbeatable total. With 17 wins, three no-results, and three losses, no team can possibly surpass them. India are the only team who can close up with only 37 points. New Zealand, with 21 points, risks losing their automatic 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup spot to Bangladesh or the West Indies.
If overtaken, they’ll have to qualify through the Cricket World Cup Qualifier. Australia’s victory also secured an automatic spot for Sri Lanka in next year’s global event. The Australians capped their campaign by bowling out New Zealand for 215, showcasing their dominance.
