ICC Women's Player of the Month for March 2025 revealed
Voll began with a 50 off 31 deliveries in the opening game, before a quickfire 36 off 20 in the second T20I, and wrapped up the series with a career-high 75 off 57 in the final game. Voll's success means that Australian players have won the monthly award for the fourth month in a row, with Annabel Sutherland bagging it in December 2024 followed by Beth Mooney in January and Alan King in February. Elated at being named the Player of the Month, Voll said: "Winning this award is certainly a nice way to cap off what's been an incredible summer for myself and the team. "To go to New Zealand and claim that T20 series against the World Champions was the perfect way to end the season. It's been a whirlwind first summer in the Australian side and I'm excited for what next season holds."

Australia young guns the big winners on latest rankings update
Some impressive performances in New Zealand has seen a trio of Australian young guns rewarded with new career-high ratings on the latest ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings. The Aussies registered an emphatic 3-0 series whitewash over their trans-Taman rivals last month, with opening batter Beth Mooney adjudged Player of the Series for her 166 runs across the three matches. That saw Mooney maintain her place as the No.1 ranked T20I batter, but a pair of youngsters are closing in following some decent efforts with the bat in New Zealand. Women's T20I Batter Rankings Fellow southpaw Phoebe Litchfield gains a new career-high rating and improves two places overall to 20th on the back of her 60 runs for the series, while teammate Georgia Voll jumps a whopping 29 spots to equal 41st following her 161 runs from three innings. Best of Beth Mooney | WT20WC The duo obtain new career-high ratings courtesy of their efforts, while teammate Annabel Sutherland also climbs to a new career-best mark on the latest rankings for T20I bowlers after her superb series with the ball. Women's T20I Bowler Rankings Sutherland claimed eight wickets across the three matches, with her best effort coming in the series finale in Wellington as she collected figures of 4/35 to help propel Australia to an eight-run victory. Every Annabel Sutherland wicket | WT20WC 2024 Sutherland remains fourth on the updated rankings for T20I bowlers, but closes to within just 20 rating points of England's Sophie Ecclestone at the top of the list. Australian spinner Georgia Wareham gains one place to move up to eighth on the latest rankings for T20I bowlers, while veteran seamer Megan Schutt also jumps one spot to improve to 11th overall. There is some joy for a group of New Zealand players despite the fact they failed to win any of the three matches against Australia, with star all-rounder Melie Kerr leading the way with her stylish half-century in the final match of the series. Kerr improves seven places to 10th overall on the T20I rankings for batters, with teammate Maddy Green jumping nine spots to equal 45th following her innings of 62 from the same contest.

Sutherland breaks down Australia's mantra for success post New Zealand series win
Australia sealed the T20I series against New Zealand with a commanding 82-run victory in the second T20I, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead. This win adds to their dominant form, having crushed England 16-0 in the Women's Ashes earlier this year. Annabel Sutherland, who finished as the Player of the Match in Mount Maunganui, puts Australia's recent success down to embodying the 'no limits' ethos they have aimed for. 'I think we're sort of showing a bit more of the way we want to play," Sutherland told reporters after Australia's win. "Certainly in the way we're speaking about our cricket, most conversations are...I guess, we're putting value on that type of cricket, which is cool. And, yeah, celebrating the little moments along the way which go towards that style of play.' Batting first, Australia posted a massive total of 204 in the second T20I, thanks to a blistering knock of 70 off 42 balls by Beth Mooney - her fourth 70-plus score in her last five T20I knocks. "Yeah, that is crazy. In T20 cricket, which is a hard game, she's, yeah, she looks so good out there and tough to bowl to," Sutherland said of Mooney's consistent run with the bat. The all-rounder then played a pivotal role in Australia's win, claiming a four-wicket haul in just 2.1 overs while conceding only eight runs - her best career figures in T20Is. "It felt pretty good. There was a bit of pace and bounce in the wicket, which suited me," said Sutherland. 'I thought Darcie Brown as well did a really good job and then our spinners that was a good [all] round performance,' she added. The win over the reigning T20 World Cup champions marked Australia's first-ever T20I series win in New Zealand. However, Sutherland stated, the focus remains on maintaining a clinical approach with both bat and ball, regardless of the opposition. "Oh, more so just for us in the way that we want to play, not really comparing to other teams. It's just, we know sort of where we can get to. "We're not really putting a limit on that. So, yeah, nice to hit that 200 mark today with a bat on a pretty good deck. And, like I said, clinical with the ball." News Australia Women Annabel Sutherland 10/12/2001
