    Beth Mooney leads the way in Australia's series-clinching T20 win over New Zealand

    Beth Mooney is named player of the match for a second straight time, scoring a game-high 70 runs as Australia beats New Zealand by 82 in the second of three T20s.


    Beth Mooney has been named player of the match for a second straight time after scoring a game-high 70 runs as Australia beats New Zealand by 82 in the second of three T20s.

    Australia's ultra-consistent opener was also best on ground in the first clash with 75 not out and followed it up with another typically controlled 42-ball knock in Tauranga as the tourists ended their 20 overs on 3-204.

    The White Ferns' chase never got out of first gear after losing Suzie Bates in the second over, with Annabel Sutherland taking 4-8 off 13 balls as New Zealand was bowled out for just 122 in 16.1 overs.

    The third and final T20 will be played in Wellington on Wednesday.

    Check out the scores and stats below.
