[Donny]

An excellent 95 n.o. from Karen Rolton set up a good win for the Aussies.

Note the umpire.

[Donny]

N.Z. won the toss and batted in the 6th. ODI against Australia.

They are 4/117 after 34 overs.

Fitzpatrick has 2/17 from 6 overs.
-----------------------------------------------

6/196 presents a challenging total for the Aussies.

[Donny]

The Aussies are 1/56 after 18 overs. Clarke made 26.
-------------------

2/110 after 32 overs. Rolton made 31.
---------------------------------------------

They'll need to get a move on. The N.Z. bowlers are containing the Aussies as the ask builds.
--------------------------------------------------------

Well, Mavis Jones did the job. 54 from 55 balls as the Aussies near the total. She and Blackwell (22 n.o.) added 64 runs in 10 overs.

They won with 8 balls and 4 wickets to spare and tooe the series 5-1
