"Bree Illing opens the bowling for NZ in her World Cup debut. Her first ball is a little short and Healy pulls it away strongly, but fortunately for Illing, it's just a single. Litchfield gets off the mark with a single next ball as well. The two batters continue to turn the strike over for the next few balls, settling into the pace of the wicket and the rhythm of the left arm fast bowling of Illing."
"If you feel like this World Cup has crept up on you and you're not quite up to speed on what to expect, we've got you covered. You've got a bit of time before the first ball is bowled, so firstly check out this piece from Mrinal Asija about how the gap is closing between Australia and their rivals for the trophy."
Australia won the toss and will bat first. The Australian XI includes Alyssa Healy (c, wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ash Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Kim Garth and Darcie Brown. New Zealand named Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine (c), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Izzy Gaze (wk), Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, Eden Carson and Bree Illing. Bree Illing opened the bowling in her World Cup debut; Healy and Litchfield rotated strike and settled quickly, reaching 9-0 after the first over with Healy on seven and Litchfield on two.
