<b>FOUR!</b> Leigh Kasperek to Phoebe Litchfield. Length ball, reverse sweeping, Hit Hard in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. A gem of an innings by Phoebe Litchfield has lifted Australia to a win in the opening match of the series. It was a good team effort to help New Zealand reach 7-143 off their 20 overs, as they displayed much more positive intent with their footwork than in previous matches. Australia looked in a bit of trouble after the dismissal of Perry saw them fall to 3-44 but Litchfield showed her full array of shots on her way to 64 not out, ensuring the visitors couldn't set a field to build some pressure. Wareham played a handy knock of 26 off 20 balls to assist in chasing down the total, while Penfold was the pick of the White Ferns bowlers with 2 wickets. Please join us again on Sunday for Game 2.
