4th over: New Zealand 21-2 (Bates 10, Plimmer 3) A Filer no-ball means a free hit for New Zealand, though Bates can only club it over the bowler’s head for a single.
Plimmer doesn’t look too comfortable against Filer. She’s beaten, slices a couple over the cover and then wears a short ball on the body. Bates takes a more aggressive option, charging down the track to belt successive deliveries for four and two.
