Megan Schutt became the highest wicket taker in T20 World Cup history with a devastating spell.
A superbly disciplined bowling performance has earned Australia a second successive victory in the Women’s T20 World Cup, a 60-run win over New Zealand putting them in pole position for a semi-final place.
Australia were ultimately disappointed with posting 8-148, but it was ample against a New Zealand side they have now beaten ten times in succession. “We could have been smarter with the bat at the end, but we came out really well with the ball and I’m really happy with that,” said skipper Alyssa Healy.As against Sri Lanka Schutt set the tone taking a wicket in the third over, bowling Georgia Plimmer .

But she never got going as wickets fell at the other end including two in two balls for Annabel Sutherland . The Kiwis’ last nine wickets fell for 34 runs with Devine ninth out after making seven off 15.
