After a magnificent clean sweep in the Women’s Ashes 2025 against England women, the Australian women’s side is all set to lock horns against New Zealand for three T20I matches. The opening thriller is set to take place on March 21 at Eden Park in Auckland.
Coming to the team dynamics, the White Ferns have had mixed fortunes in their recent white-ball series. The side managed to win the ODI series against Sri Lanka but suffered defeat in the opening match of the T20I series, leading to the series being levelled at the end. New Zealand now need to turn around their fortunes if they aim to replicate their 2024 T20 World Cup fortunes in the forthcoming ODI World Cup slated to take place in October in India.
On the other hand, Australia have been in great form and possess a better record against the Kiwis in the shortest version of the game. Skipper Tahlia McGrath will be looking to lead the side against the strong opponents.

Pitch Report
Suzie Bates NZ-W | bat
Bates can provide the stability as an opening batter for her side. In addition, she was also the leading run scorer in the Sri Lanka series.
Sophie Devine NZ-W | all
She is one of the most destructive all-rounders in the world at this moment. Her aggressive batting makes her one of the most dangerous power-hitter batter.
Tahlia McGrath AUS-W | all
She is one of the best all-rounders from her side. As a captain, she will be looking to give her performance with both bat and the ball in this series.
