The New Zealand women's cricket team played against Australia women's cricket team in September 2020 and October 2020.[1][2] The tour consisted of three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and three Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is).[3][4] On 21 August 2020, Cricket Australia named a 18-member combined squad for the fixtures.[5] New Zealand Cricket confirmed their squad one week later, with their former captain Amy Satterthwaite returning to the side.[6]
Originally, the WT20I matches were scheduled to be played in Sydney, with the WODI matches taking place in Queensland.[7] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a revised schedule was issued, with all the matches taking place at Allan Border Field in Brisbane, using biosecure protocols.[8] The New Zealand team departed for the tour on 9 September 2020.[9]
Australia won the first two WT20I matches to take an unassailable series lead.[10] It was also Australia's tenth consecutive bilateral series win against all teams in the format.[11] New Zealand won the final WT20I match by five wickets, with Australia taking the series 2–1.[12] It was New Zealand's first win in thirteen matches across all formats against Australia.[13] Australia also won the first two WODI matches to win the series, with their captain Meg Lanning scoring her 14th century in the format in the second match.[14] Australia won the third WODI to win the series 3–0,[15] equalling the winning streak in ODIs of 21 matches, set by Ricky Ponting's team of 2002–03.[16]
