New Zealand has been set a 204-run target for victory in the second T20 against Australia in Mount Maunganui.
The tourists posted 204 from their 20 overs after opener Beth Mooney cracked another half-century, her 27th in T20Is. New Zealand’s highest successful run chase in women’s T20Is is 173.
Australian opener Georgia Voll blasted 36 (20) in an explosive start before feathering a bouncer from Kiwi all-rounder Sophie Devine, who later sustained a hand injury, through to the wicketkeeper.
