  1. NZ 23-0published at 3 overs

    Priest 16, Devine 5

    This is turning into a strong start for New Zealand. Their hopes are increasing a little. Sophie Devine ends the over by collecting her first boundary with a drive through the off side.

  2. NZ 18-0published at 2.4 overs

    Priest has got hold of that one! There are cries of catch but Perry isn't able to get across in time. Four.

  3. NZ 14-0published at 2.3 overs

    Wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy is up to the stumps already to seamer Megan Schutt. Schutt has gone for the classic white sun scream across her nose and cheeks.

    She is mixing it up. Priest can't get it away.

    New Zealand can't just wait for the bad delivery; they need to turn over the strike regularly too.

  5. NZ 13-0published at 2 overs

    Target 156

    Rachel Priest nails another, this time through the off side. Meg Lanning dives to her right at extra cover but can't get there for the catch. The ball reaches the boundary in a flash.

    A better over for the White Ferns. Nine from it.

  6. NZ 9-0published at 1.2 overs

    Slapped for four. Not a lot of foot movement from Rachel Priest but she heaves the ball away.

    Can that give New Zealand a bit of momentum?

  7. NZ 4-0published at 1.1 overs

    A no-ball called by the third umpire watching that front foot on the TV replays! Free hit coming up.

  8. Postpublished at 05:41 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2020

    Superstar Ellyse Perry will share the new ball. More signs her hip is absolutely fine.

  9. NZ 4-0published at 1 over

    Target 156

    A much better end to the over from Schutt compared to the start. Four dots to finish and the required rate is already creeping up. New Zealand need to go at exactly eight runs per over from here.

    It's important Australia are switched on here. We've already seen a wide and a misfield.

  11. NZ 4-0published at 0.2 overs

    Priest guides one through - perhaps actually under - the fielder of short third man. A scruffy start from Australia.

  12. NZ 1-0published at 0 overs

    It doesn't matter how you get them... New Zealand get a freebie first up courtesy of a wide from Schutt.

  13. NZ 0-0published at 05:36 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2020

    Target 156

    Megan Schutt is bounding up and down at the top of her mark. Sophie Devine and Rachel Priest are the White Ferns' openers. Devine is smiling. She looks relaxed despite the high-pressure situation.

    It's win or bust for both teams.

    If New Zealand are going to win this game, Sophie Devine needs to virtually bat through.

  15. Postpublished at 05:34 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2020

    Here we go then.

    New Zealand need 156 to beat Australia, reach the semi-finals and knock the hosts out.

    It'll be a tough ask but New Zealand do have the batting line-up that could do this.

    New Zealand will have probably hoped for just a little more after putting Australia in to bat. They only took the five wickets.

  18. Postpublished at 05:26 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2020

    Mooney's knock of 60 from 50 balls was the key to the Australia innings.

    The opener batted really well and has got her side into the ascendancy in this game.

    Australia batter Beth Mooney: "It was nice to get a couple out of the middle. I probably lost my way trying to hit too hard. It is a defendable total. It will be a tough contest. The Kiwis have some good batters in their line-up."

    All the talk will be of Beth Mooney but Rachael Haynes' cameo is so important and one of the hardest things to do in T20 cricket.
