The White Ferns just keep on rollin' and are gearing up for a big push at the Women's World T20 after an impressive win over their trans-Tasman rivals. The Ferns bowled first and restricted Australia to 103/8 off their 20 overs, which could have been a lot less had it not been for the ever-amazing Elyse Perry (dual international) who hit 42 off 28 balls as the Ferns had Australia reeling at 4/4.

Chasing a total like 104 can get a bit tricky, however the Ferns did it easily and finished up 104/4 off 16.2 overs. For those new to the White Ferns' bandwagon, there are two players you need to note down as they have been exceptional leading into this WWT20 and in the first few matches. Leigh Kasperek has taken at least one wicket in her last seven limited overs games (six T20s, one ODI) and even better than that, Kasperek has only taken a single wicket in just one of those past seven outings.

Kasperek pushed that streak out to seven games with an impressive 3/13 off 4 overs in which she dismissed Australia's first three batswomen for a combined 2 runs. This also means that Kasperek is now the top wicket-taker of the whole tournament, with 6 wickets from three games at an average of 7 and an economy rate of 3.50 runs-per-over.

The other key woman is Suzie Bates, who has been dominating opposition bowling attacks for almost a year. Bates didn't top-score, she did hit 23 off 25 though which has her posting up, setting up shop at the top of the run-scorers rankings. Bates has 142 runs in three games, an average of 47.33 and a strike-rate of 116.39, keep in mind that Nigar Sultana form Bangladesh is in 2nd place and she's only got 89 runs from three games.

Bates hasn't scored below 15 in her last 10 innings (8 T20s, 2 ODIs) and while Australia's top order crumbled, Bates and fellow opener Rachel Priest scored 58 for the the first wicket. Priest top-scored for the Ferns with 34 off 27 and showed her ability to hit boundaries, scoring at a strike-rate of 125.92 which was crucial as there was a worry that if Bates missed out (doesn't look like happening), Priest hasn't been in the best form. Priest has only scored over 20 runs once in her past seven T20s, so it's good to see her finding some runs heading into the knockout cricket and against our rivals.

I reckon the Ferns could make a strong case for having the strongest batting line up at the WWT20, with Bates and Priest opening (Bates is ranked No.1 run-scorer, Priest is No.4) and a strong middle order that relish any foundation laid by their openers. Sophie Devine hit 17 off 17 while Amy Satterthwaite also chipped in with 16 off 12 balls.

Great result today! Off to Bangalore tomorrow for our final pool game vs South Africa.. #WT20 #nzvaus #restday pic.twitter.com/C1Pdp7J7N2

Devine hit 47 against Ireland and is ranked the 5th highest run-scorer which means that the Ferns' top three are ranked No.1, No.4 and No.5 in the tournament so far. There's also a nice mix there as Devine has the highest strike-rate of those three (126.78) and she's maintaining any momentum gained by the openers.

Bates is the star although we've seen just how strong the Ferns are as a batting unit and this is similar to their bowling attack. Kasperek is the star and the Ferns boast a very strong three-pronged spin attack which was on display against Australia as Morna Nielsen only conceded 4 runs off her 4 overs and Erin Bermingham's leg-spin took 2/23 off 4 overs.

4-0-4-0 v 🇦🇺 was not only a 🇳🇿#T20 International economy record for @mornface. It was one of the 2 leanest spells in the history of @icc #WT20. The other? Aizaz Shah 4-1-4-2 for Hong Kong (men) in 2014 #mornana #spin 👊🏼🇳🇿💟

Bermingham is ranked 3rd on the wicket-takers list with 4 wickets at an average of 10 and an economy rate of 5 runs-an-over, noticeably better than the three other players on 4 wickets in the tournament.

This dangerous spin attack is only made possible by the presence of Bates, Devine and Satterthwaite who all bat in the top five and bowl in a six-strong bowling attack. Bates called on Devine to bowl her full contingent of 4 overs and made up the remaining 4 overs with 3 from Satterthwaite and an over from herself ... that went for 13 runs, she is human after all.

No other team has played three games like the Ferns so they'll have to kick back for a few days, which obviously will be beneficial as they'll get a bit of a rest before taking on South Africa overnight Saturday. The Ferns aren't the only unbeaten team at the moment with West Indies unbeaten after two games in Group B (Ferns are in Group A) and the Ferns will probably be keeping a close eye on the game between West Indies and England (also undefeated, after one game though) which will go down overnight Thursday.
