Australia Women vs New Zealand Women, Live streaming: Where to watch AU-W vs NZ-W match online? 

The occasion is huge, and the stage is set, as Australia women cross swords with the New Zealand Women in the 1st T20I of this 3-match series. 

The coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc on the world, and Australia's lockdown made headlines for a variety of reasons, notably for the stringent measures that were adopted. This is the first international game being played in Australia after the onset of the pandemic, and the fact that it also happens to be the first international woman's game just compounds its significance.

The teams had competed in a 40-over warm-up game heading into this encounter, with Australia trumping New Zealand by 11 runs in a closely-contested game. The game gave the players a decent idea about the revised conditions of play, and also gave others an incling of the form they will carry heading into this game.

For Australia, Beth Mooney starred with the bat, and the wily Sophie Molineux got an impressive five-wicket haul. Skipper Meg Lanning and Alyssa Healy are vital cogs in that line-up, and will look to unleash all their shots in this important game. The team will be sans the services of the illustrious Ellyse Perry, and that might just weaken their bowling a bit. 

New Zealand had two star performers in the previous game, with Sophie Devine and Amy Satterthwaite taking the Aussie bowling to the cleaners. They will need players like Suzie Bates and Natalie Todd to step up their game and contribute substantially. Their bowling was brilliant in patches, with Holly Huddleston in particular looking incisive in the warm-up game. 

This promises to be an exciting contest, and will undoubtedly open doors for a lot of international cricket and sport Down Under. Expect a nail-biter first up...
