The Australia women's cricket team played against New Zealand women's cricket team in March and April 2021.[2] [3] The tour took place during the time that was originally scheduled to be used to host the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup.[4] However, the tournament was postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The fixtures for the tour were confirmed in January 2021,[6] with three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) and three Women's One Day International (WODI) being played.[7] The WT20I matches were played as double-headers alongside the men's fixtures between New Zealand and Bangladesh.[8]
Australia won the first WT20I by six wickets,[9] with New Zealand winning the second match by four wickets to level the series.[10] Only 2.5 overs of play was possible in the third WT20I, with the series being drawn 1–1.[11]
Australia won the first WODI by six wickets,[12] setting a new record of twenty-two consecutive wins in ODI cricket.[13] This broke the previous record of twenty-one wins set by Ricky Ponting's team of 2002–03.[14] Australia won the second WODI by 71 runs, winning the series and retaining the Rose Bowl.[15] Australia won the third WODI by 21 runs to win the series 3–0.[16]
Annabel Sutherland was ruled out of Australia's squad due to injury,[21] with Molly Strano named as her replacement.[22] Sophie Devine was ruled out of the last two WT20Is with Amy Satterthwaite captaining the New Zealand in her place.[23] Molly Penfold was added to New Zealand's squad for third WT20I.[24] Frances Mackay was also ruled out the third WT20I and WODI series with Lauren Down added as cover in the third WT20I.[25] Sophie Devine was also ruled out of the WODI series, with Amy Satterthwaite again named captain of New Zealand in her absence.[26] Kate Anderson was named as Devine's replacement for the WODI matches.[27]
