Young star Phoebe Litchfield has blasted her highest Twenty20 score to steer Australia to a five-wicket series-opening win against New Zealand in Mackay. The talented left-hander crafted an unbeaten 64 from 43 balls, saving Australia from trouble when she arrived at the crease with the hosts reeling at 3-44. But Litchfield batted flawlessly for the second T20 fifty of her career to help inflict New Zealand with a record-equalling eighth-straight T20 defeat.
Fellow allrounder Heather Graham received the late call-up to replace Gardner, with Australia coach Shelley Nitschke calling the incident “hectic”. “We walked out and there’s something happening in warm up and and then Ash was on the ground, and unfortunately she was ruled out of the game,” Nitschke told Seven. “She’s good. It’s just a precaution. “She’s in concussion protocols at the moment and given we’ve got a fair bit of cricket ahead of us we ruled her out of the game.
