Indoor Cricket World Cup Day 1 Wrap


 

Australia kicked off its defence of the women's Indoor Cricket World Cup title in stylish fashion on the opening day of the tournament in Brisbane on Sunday.

Australia kicked off its defence of the women's Indoor Cricket World Cup title in stylish fashion on the opening day of the tournament in Brisbane on Sunday.

 

The Ladies recorded a comfortable victory over England in the morning session and then triumphed over New Zealand at night.

The Australian women did a magnificent job with the ball to see England restricted to the paltry total of nine before easily cruising to a 125-run win, with openers Nicole Martin and Melissa Mayers posting a 49-run stand.

 

Captain Jude Coleman then led her side to a comprehensive 112-run win over New Zealand, with the hosts holding the advantage in all four skins yet again.

 

Coleman admitted the win was a little more rewarding than usual due to the fact current New Zealand coach Brad Zeller had been Australia's mentor from 2000 to 2004.

 

"It definitely has a sweet taste to it, but it's the start of the week - it's the end of the week that we want to be doing that to them," Coleman said.

 

"We weren't too happy with our game against England, but to come out and beat the Kiwis like we did was very, very satisfying."

 

Australia clashes with Wales on Monday in the women's division.
