LAHORE: Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner starred as Australia overran New Zealand by 97 runs to jumpstart their defence of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. Healy looked a million dollars for her 55, her highest score in the format since the 2020 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Final, as Australia racked up 173-9. The White Ferns lost Suzie Bates with the first ball of their reply and they were rolled for 76 in 14 overs. Gardner was the chief destroyer with a sublime spell of 5-12, by some way her best T20I bowling figures, the five-time champions starting off with a dominant victory.
