The three-match T20I series between New Zealand Women and Australia Women is set to commence on March 21, 2025.

Context of the series

This series marks an essential opportunity for both teams as they prepare for future competitions. Australia, led by Tahila McGrath, enters this series after a successful Ashes campaign where they achieved a clean sweep against England. Conversely, New Zealand, captained by Suzi Bates, recently faced Sri Lanka in a closely contested series that ended in a draw.

Australia’s head coach Shelley Nitschke emphasized the importance of this series in refining their strategies ahead of the next T20 World Cup scheduled for 2026. She acknowledged that with limited T20 matches before the World Cup, every game is crucial for team development and cohesion.

Nitschke also highlighted that New Zealand would pose a significant challenge with their full-strength squad returning to action. The return of players like Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr adds depth and experience to New Zealand’s lineup.
