Gardner, Healy power Australia to dominating start
A vocation best return of 5 for 12 - and a lady fifer across designs - by Debris Gardner assisted Australia with enrolling a pounding 97-run win to set the ball moving for the 2023 T20 World Cup crusade.

The final part, then again, had a place with New Zealand, who set off a batting breakdown, civility three-wicket pulls by Lea Tahuhu and Amelia Kerr. When Lanning was tidied up by Kerr for a 33-ball 41, and Debris Landscaper trailed behind, New Zealand found a way back to assume command, however a guaranteed 50 years collusion between old mates Ellyse Perry and Healy guaranteed that Australia held control.

A touch of implosion simply added to their troubles, with Maddy Green getting run out, scarcely a couple creeps outside the wrinkle.
Gardner went through the lower request, whose endeavors to swing for speedy runs just misfired on them as they collapsed in 14 overs.
