*Official* Women's ODI World Cup 2025

So soft. Sutherland hasn't been great with her patience since being promoted up the order.

 

[Molehill]

We get rid of Perry, and Sutherland comes in. It's relentless.

But then you get rid of Sutherland......

This is kind of what happened in the warm up game with England, they don't all seem in that great form at the mo.

 

[ataraxia]

I swear every catchable ball goes straight to Bates. Mind, if it doesn't go to her it's dropped half the time. (Wasn't there a Super Smash season where she posted an absurd number of catches?)

Melie being gun is to be expected, but this is the best I've seen Tahuhu bowl in a while.

Frustrating showing from Australia here. Feels as though the series they just played convinced them they need to be aiming for big scores and they aren't being very smart about it.

This would be a good time for McGrath to find that form she seemed to briefly have earlier this year.

 

[_Ed_]

Our other bowlers are failing to back up Kerr and Tahuhu's efforts. Suddenly this partnership looks pretty ominous.

 

[Stefan9]

NZ needs to break this partnership.

 

[_Ed_]

Relieved to get that breakthrough, but Gardner can do a lot of damage from here...

 

[Stefan9]

Ash looking very dangerous.

 

[Burgey]

This is unacceptable from Australia. Very ordinary.

 

[Stefan9]

Some innings from Gardner.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

They got plenty on the board already

 

[_Ed_]

Hell of an innings by Gardner. I don't see us getting close in the chase, sadly.

 

[Stefan9]

326 all out

 

[cascade]

Think it's definitely a bat first tournament outside of rain-affected games. Kiwi girls looked properly cooked out there.

So nice that Gardner has been back in good batting form. Massive innings.

 

[RMBolton]

Men's cricket, Women's cricket, it's all the same hatred of Australia for me, even if any other team would've got rolled for far less & they at least got bowled out.

 

[Burgey]

Cope harder

 

[Molehill]

Think it's definitely a bat first tournament outside of rain-affected games. Kiwi girls looked properly cooked out there.

Not convinced, think it comes on quite nicely under the lights (it did yesterday).

But this is a horrific start by NZ, worse than the men earlier. NRR could be key to qualifying.....

Wth is nz doing, 0/2????

 

[Stefan9]

NZ in deep trouble 0/2
