Analysis:
New Zealand are proving to be toothless in front of Australia. After their disastrous Australia tour in 2020, they have now lost the first game against Australia. Their skipper Sophie Devine missed out on the game as she was unwell and that severely affected their chances. Opener Lauren Down displayed character and played a gusty knock of 90. Her innings was peppered with 8 boundaries. Jess Kerr took 1 wicket and was extremely economical.
Australia are going through some golden time. They have been a juggernaut in the ODI format and have won 22 straight games in this format. Alyssa Healy is one Australian who has featured in all these 22 games and she scored a 65 in the 1st ODI. Ellyse Perry took hold of the entire innings and steered Australia to a comfortable victory with nearly 12 overs remaining. Megan Schutt bagged the player of the match award after she picked up 4 wickets in the 1st innings.
