Scorer: Binoy George | Commentator: Andrew McGlashan
Australia win by eight wickets and that was a cakewalk from the home side. A dominant performance from start to finish and they take the series with a game to spare. New Zealand have a lot of thinking to do. Their batting order feels underpowered and they need to find some more spin options. For Australia, they are a magnificently well-oiled machine despite just having six months off. Will be interesting if they feel the need to rotate any players for the third match on Wednesday.
Player of the Match is Sophie Molineux for her 2 for 17.
I'll wrap things up there for today. Thanks for joining us and I'll be back on Wednesday for the final match of the series to see if New Zealand can find a way of matching Australia. Until then, from Andrew McGlashan, it's goodbye.
