Schutt to Plimmer, out Bowled!! There's the early wicket that Schutt provides for Australia on a regular basis. With that wicket Schutt now has the most wickets in ICC Women's T20 World Cup history going past Shabnim Ismail. Stays low from a good length on middle, Plimmer pulls and the low bounce defeats her, the ball crashes into middle-stump halfway up. Plimmer b Schutt 4(7)

Amelia Kerr, right handed bat, comes to the crease

This is some comeback from New Zealand, but Australia still have racked up 148, comfortably the highest score at this venue so far. At 109 for 2 in the 14th over, they were looking at possibly going past 160, so this is a mini comeback from the New Zealanders. It was spin that did the trick once again and it was Amelia Kerr who was outstanding with her wrong 'uns. She used them effectively and dismissed the cream of the top-order. Another good outing for Rosemary Mair and Brook Halliday came out as a surprise - bowling full-tosses, lollipops, teasers and still finishing with 2 for 16 from 2 overs. The pitch is sluggish and it'll be a tough chase for New Zealand - they did make 160 the other day against India, but that was on a better wicket in Dubai. How will they fare tonight?
