Australia beat New Zealand by six wickets in the first match of their three-match One-Day International series to set a new record for most consecutive victories in the 50-over format across men’s and women’s cricket.
After bowling out New Zealand for 212 at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, Australia rode on half-centuries by wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy (65 off 68), star all-rounder Ellyse Perry (56* off 79), and Ashleigh Gardner (53* off 41) to finish in 38.3 overs.
This was the Australian women’s team’s 22nd consecutive win in ODI cricket as they went past the record set by the Australian men’s team in 2003.
They've done it!
