Australia Women Complete 3-0 Sweep Over New Zealand

Australia's women's T20 cricket team achieved a clean sweep of New Zealand, winning the third match by five wickets at Allan Border Field, Brisbane. Chasing a target of 147, Australia faced some early setbacks but ultimately secured the victory with contributions from Ellyse Perry (36 off 29) and Ashleigh Gardner (33 off 26), who built a crucial partnership. Georgia Wareham excelled with both bat and ball, scoring 26 runs and taking two wickets, earning her the Player of the Match title. New Zealand's innings saw opener Georgia Plimmer score a maiden T20I half-century (53 off 48) but struggled to maintain momentum, collapsing from 118-1 to 146-6. The Australians will head to the UAE for the T20 World Cup with confidence, while New Zealand looks to rebound from a streak of losses in this format. The series highlighted Australia's depth and resilience as they prepare to defend their title.
