8.38pm: New Zealand post 146 for 6 after opting to bat. Plimmer was the best batter for the visitors, scoring her maiden T20I fifty, two years after making her international debut. Kerr chipped in with a 36-ball 40. In between, Australia though triggered a collapse when New Zealand lost five wickets for just 14 runs. Wareham was excellent and was well supported by Gardner. Sutherland got two wickets in the penultimate over to dent NZ. Can Australia chase this down and complete the series sweep? or will NZ post a consolation win before they head to the UAE? We'll find out. Join Alex for the start of the chase!
