8:38pm New Zealand would not be all too disappointed with this score but Australia will be quite confident with the target they have. New Zealand struggled to break away in the first half of the innings but then managed to get a few boundaries in the back end, with Vlaeminck bearing the brunt of a few. For most part of the innings, it seemed that New Zealand lacked power with the bat. Australia have plenty of that and this is a chase right up their alley. Will New Zealand's bowlers spring a surprise? Find out shortly with Alex back at the wheel

Schutt to JM Kerr, 1 run, OUT, Full and just outside off, lofts it just wide of McGrath at mid-off. But, oh no, there's a horrible mix-up and Kasperek is run-out. She wanted to get Kerr back on strike and rushed back for the second, but Kerr was ball-watching and dived to make her ground at the bowler's end. Schutt first broke the stumps at her end and then threw the ball to Healy, who did the rest

LM Kasperek run out 14 (27m 16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 87.50

Schutt to Kasperek, 1 run, Ouch! Kasperek walks across to play the scoop to the length ball but edges it onto Healy's helmet. Collects the run after it deflects to short fine leg
