Australia vs New Zealand Women: Sydney Mein Jeet Mili, Lekin Aaram Se Nahi
Sydney: Australia Women ne New Zealand Women tour of Australia, 2026 ke pehle T20I mein do wickets se jeet darj ki, magar scoreline jitni simple dikh sakti hai, match utna bilkul nahi tha. Ellyse Perry ki attacking fifty aur Beth Mooney ke support ne hosts ko commanding position mein la diya tha. Phir New Zealand ki bowling ne game ki direction achanak badal di.
New Zealand ke 162/2 ke response mein Australia ne 18.5 overs mein 165/8 score kiya. Target cross karne se pehle unka middle aur lower order pressure mein aa gaya, aur ek waqt par comeback ka darwaza New Zealand ke liye khulta dikha.
New Zealand Ki Innings: Plimmer Aur Green Ne Sambhali Badi Zimmedari
New Zealand ki shuruaat ideal nahi rahi. Flora Devonshire third over mein out hui, aur Amelia Kerr bhi Powerplay ke turant baad pavilion laut gayi. Iske baad Georgia Plimmer aur Maddy Green ne innings ko sambhala aur partnership ko match-defining platform mein badal diya.
Plimmer ne 68 balls par unbeaten 85 run banaye, jabki Green ne 37 balls par unbeaten 56 run jode. Dono ne third wicket ke liye 80 balls mein 127 runs ki unbroken partnership ki. Early setbacks ke bawajood New Zealand 20 overs mein 162/2 tak pahunch gaya.
Middle Overs Se Final Five Overs Tak Acceleration
Ninth over mein Plimmer ne Lucy Hamilton ki bowling par lagatar teen fours laga kar scoring tempo badhaya. Agle over mein Green ne Ashleigh Gardner ke against boundaries nikali. 15 overs ke baad New Zealand ka score 108/2 tha, lekin last five overs mein unhone 54 runs add kiye.
17th over mein Kim Garth ke khilaf Green ne do fours aur ek six lagaya. Is finishing burst ne Australia ke saamne 163 ka chase rakha. New Zealand ke total ke context mein Annabel Sutherland ka 1/28 bhi notable bowling figure raha.
Australia Ki Chase: Perry Aur Mooney Ne Pehle Match Par Pakad Banayi
Australia ki opening shaky rahi. Georgia Voll innings ki doosri ball par out ho gayi. Lekin Perry aur Mooney ne counterattack karte hue Powerplay mein team ko 57/1 tak pahunchaya. Eight overs ke baad Australia 85/1 par thi aur run rate lagbhag 10 per over bana hua tha.
Mooney ne 38 runs banaye, lekin ninth over mein run out ho gayi. Perry ne 27 balls mein fifty poori ki aur overall 52 runs banaye. Unki innings ne Australia ko strong chasing position di, par wickets ki girti line ne suspense ko zinda rakha.
Turning Point: Jess Kerr Ne Chase Ko Thriller Banaya
Perry ke 11th over mein dismissal ke baad New Zealand ne pressure build karna shuru kiya. Amelia Kerr ne 12th over mein Georgia Wareham ko dismiss kiya. Annabel Sutherland ne boundaries ke saath counterpunch diya, lekin New Zealand ke bowlers ne match ko wapas tight bana diya.
Jess Kerr ke 15th over mein do wickets ne game ko edge par la diya. Australia ek phase par 102/3 se 145/7 tak gir chuki thi. Agle over ke baad score 150/7 tha aur jeet ke liye 13 runs chahiye the. Jess Kerr ne 3/25 ke figures ke saath visitors ko contest mein banaye rakha.
Jab Australia ko bas teen runs ki zarurat thi, Rosemary Mair ne Sophie Molineux ko bowled kar diya. Phir bhi New Zealand complete turnaround nahi kar saka. Kim Garth ne 19th over mein remaining runs complete karwa diye aur Australia ne saat balls baaki rehte do wickets se match jeet liya.
Key Numbers Jo Match Ki Kahani Batate Hain
127 off 80: Plimmer-Green ki unbeaten third-wicket stand.
54 in final 5: New Zealand ke last five overs ka scoring burst.
57/1: Australia ka Powerplay score.
52: Perry ka score; fifty 27 balls mein aayi.
3/25: Jess Kerr ka game-changing bowling spell.
2 wickets: Australia's final victory margin.
Why It Matters: Strong Start Ke Saath Warning Signal
Series opener jeetna Australia ke liye positive result hai, lekin chase ke dauran wickets ka quick fall ek important talking point rahega. Top-order momentum hone ke bawajood pressure mein batting depth ko test hona pada. Doosri taraf, New Zealand ko result nahi mila, phir bhi Plimmer-Green partnership aur Jess Kerr ke spell ne dikhaya ki team strong opposition ke against match ko late stages tak le ja sakti hai.
Yeh encounter yaad dilata hai ki T20 cricket mein ek partnership ya ek sharp bowling spell momentum ko kitni jaldi badal sakta hai. Australia ke liye points se badhkar finishing composure ka lesson tha; New Zealand ke liye encouraging fightback ka evidence.

Sydney की शाम में Women's Cricket का एक ऐसा मुकाबला खेला गया, जिसमें जीत Australia Women के नाम रही, लेकिन आख़िरी क्षणों तक कहानी New Zealand Women के पक्ष में पलट सकती थी। New Zealand Women tour of Australia, 2026 के पहले टी ट्वेंटी इंटरनेशनल में मेहमान टीम ने पहले बल्लेबाज़ी करते हुए बीस ओवर में दो विकेट पर एक सौ बासठ रन बनाए। शुरुआत आसान नहीं थी। Flora Devonshire तीसरे ओवर में आउट हुईं, और Powerplay ख़त्म होने के कुछ ही समय बाद Amelia Kerr भी पवेलियन लौट गईं। मगर फिर आईं Georgia Plimmer और Maddy Green। दोनों ने मैच की रफ़्तार अपने हाथों में ली, धैर्य से पारी संभाली, फिर सही मौक़ों पर चौके और छक्के लगाकर स्कोर को मज़बूत किया। Georgia Plimmer ने अड़सठ गेंदों पर नाबाद पचासी रन बनाए। Maddy Green ने सैंतीस गेंदों पर नाबाद छप्पन रन जोड़े। दोनों ने तीसरे विकेट के लिए अस्सी गेंदों में नाबाद एक सौ सत्ताईस रनों की साझेदारी की। नौवें ओवर में Plimmer ने Lucy Hamilton के ख़िलाफ़ लगातार तीन चौके जड़कर तेवर दिखाए। अगले ओवर में Green ने Ashleigh Gardner पर दबाव बनाया। पंद्रह ओवर के बाद New Zealand का स्कोर दो विकेट पर एक सौ आठ था, लेकिन अंतिम पाँच ओवर में टीम ने चौवन रन और जोड़ दिए। सत्रहवें ओवर में Green ने Kim Garth की गेंदों पर दो चौके और एक छक्का लगाया। Australia के सामने जीत के लिए एक सौ तिरसठ रनों का लक्ष्य था। जवाब में Georgia Voll दूसरी ही गेंद पर आउट हो गईं, मगर Ellyse Perry और Beth Mooney ने पारी को तेज़ी से आगे बढ़ाया। Powerplay के बाद Australia का स्कोर एक विकेट पर सत्तावन था। आठ ओवर में यह एक विकेट पर पचासी तक पहुँच गया। Beth Mooney ने अड़तीस रन बनाए, लेकिन नौवें ओवर में रन आउट हो गईं। Ellyse Perry ने मात्र सत्ताईस गेंदों में अपना अर्धशतक पूरा किया और कुल बावन रन बनाकर ऑस्ट्रेलिया को जीत के क़रीब ला दिया। फिर अचानक मैच का मिज़ाज बदल गया। ग्यारहवें ओवर में Perry के आउट होते ही New Zealand ने वापसी की कोशिश तेज़ कर दी। Amelia Kerr ने Georgia Wareham को आउट किया। Annabel Sutherland ने जवाबी आक्रमण में बाउंड्री लगाईं, लेकिन Jess Kerr ने पंद्रहवें ओवर में दो विकेट लेकर मैच को रोमांचक मोड़ पर पहुँचा दिया। Australia का स्कोर एक समय तीन विकेट पर एक सौ दो था, और फिर सात विकेट पर एक सौ पैंतालीस हो गया। Jess Kerr ने तीन विकेट लेकर सिर्फ़ पच्चीस रन दिए। जब जीत के लिए बस तीन रन चाहिए थे, तब Rosemary Mair ने Sophie Molineux को बोल्ड कर दिया। फिर भी New Zealand की असाधारण वापसी पूरी नहीं हो सकी। Kim Garth ने उन्नीसवें ओवर में बचा हुआ लक्ष्य हासिल करने में मदद की। Australia Women ने अठारह दशमलव पाँच ओवर में आठ विकेट पर एक सौ पैंसठ रन बनाकर दो विकेट से जीत दर्ज की, और सात गेंदें बचीं। यह मुकाबला बताता है कि टी ट्वेंटी क्रिकेट में एक अच्छा Powerplay जीत की गारंटी नहीं होता, और एक तेज़ bowling spell पूरी तस्वीर बदल सकता है। Perry ने जीत की नींव रखी, जबकि New Zealand की गेंदबाज़ी ने आख़िरी समय तक चुनौती को ज़िंदा रखा। ऐसी ही गहराई से तैयार क्रिकेट ख़बरों, match analysis और अहम updates के लिए Guru News Network यानी जी एन एन से जुड़े रहिए। स्कोर और cricket updates के लिए द गुरु ज्ञान और द गुरु ज्ञान Live Line के आधिकारिक प्लेटफ़ॉर्म ज़रूर देखें।
In Sydney, Australia Women claimed victory in the opening Twenty Twenty International against New Zealand Women, but what looked like a comfortable chase became a genuine test of nerve. New Zealand posted one hundred and sixty-two for two in twenty overs, building their innings around an outstanding, unbroken third-wicket partnership. Early wickets had threatened to disrupt the visitors. Flora Devonshire fell in the third over, and Amelia Kerr departed soon after the Powerplay. Georgia Plimmer and Maddy Green then transformed the innings. Plimmer remained unbeaten on eighty-five from sixty-eight balls, while Green finished unbeaten on fifty-six from thirty-seven. Their stand produced one hundred and twenty-seven runs from eighty deliveries. It was an innings built in layers. First came stability, then steadily increasing pressure on the Australian attack. Plimmer struck Lucy Hamilton for three consecutive boundaries in the ninth over. Green followed by finding boundaries against Ashleigh Gardner. With five overs remaining, New Zealand had reached one hundred and eight for two. They collected another fifty-four runs from the final thirty balls, including a forceful seventeenth over in which Green struck two fours and a six against Kim Garth. Australia therefore needed one hundred and sixty-three to win. The chase began with an immediate setback when Georgia Voll departed on the second delivery. Yet Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney countered decisively, taking Australia to fifty-seven for one at the end of the Powerplay. By eight overs, the hosts had surged to eighty-five for one. Mooney contributed thirty-eight before being run out in the ninth over. Perry completed her half-century in just twenty-seven balls and eventually finished with fifty-two. Australia appeared to have established the winning position, but New Zealand were not finished. Perry's dismissal in the eleventh over opened a passage back into the match. Amelia Kerr removed Georgia Wareham in the twelfth. Annabel Sutherland briefly responded with aggressive boundaries, yet Jess Kerr's double-wicket fifteenth over shifted the atmosphere. Australia went from one hundred and two for three to one hundred and forty-five for seven, and the prospect of a dramatic late reversal became increasingly real. Jess Kerr finished with three wickets for twenty-five runs. Australia were still thirteen runs short when they reached one hundred and fifty for seven. The equation narrowed to three, only for Rosemary Mair to bowl Sophie Molineux and keep New Zealand's hopes alive. Kim Garth eventually helped Australia complete the chase in the nineteenth over. The final score was one hundred and sixty-five for eight from eighteen overs and five balls. Australia had won by two wickets, with seven deliveries to spare. For the hosts, Perry's controlled aggression provided the foundation, but the late collapse raised important questions about how comfortably they manage pressure. For New Zealand, the partnership between Plimmer and Green, followed by Jess Kerr's outstanding spell, offered plenty of encouragement despite defeat. The lasting lesson from Sydney was that Twenty Twenty cricket rarely follows a straight line. Momentum can travel from one dressing room to the other in the space of a few deliveries.
