International cricket tour From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australia women's cricket team played against New Zealand women's cricket team in March and April 2021.[1][2] The tour took place during the time that was originally scheduled to be used to host the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup.[3] However, the tournament was postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The fixtures for the tour were confirmed in January 2021,[5] with three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) and three Women's One Day International (WODI) being played.[6] The WT20I matches were played as double-headers alongside the men's fixtures between New Zealand and Bangladesh.[7]
