Australia vs New Zealand Live Score, Woman’s World Cup 2025: Spinner Left shoulder Sophie Molineux first returned to Australian XI from undergoing knee operation because Captain Alyla Healy won throwing and decided to bat in his 2025 World Cup women’s championship Wednesday.
The integration of Molineux means that veteran Pacer Megan Schutt is missing, Australia decided to raw the pace of Darcia Brown next to Kim Garth. Seven -time world champions and defenders of the title will try to launch their campaign with a strong note in what is also the first female international match.
“Just put some runs on board and see what happens. There is a possibility that it could improve later, but last night it didn’t happen. We played some really hard cricket games in difficult conditions. We’re ready to go. The group is in a great place.
Meanwhile, New Zealand plays his first ODI in six months. Sophie Devine, Captain, admitted that he would also prefer a bat, but remained optimistic about the chances of her team.
“But a fresh goal, the beginning of the tournament, not too concerned. I think we have a great balance on the side. Experience the order of batting in Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer, a really balanced group,” she said.
“Just grateful for the opportunity to come here again and represent my country. It fills me with pride. The results are obviously important, but most importantly, people around me are,” Devine added.
