Australia retains Rose Bowl trophy in T20I series

Overview

The Rose Bowl trophy, held by Australia since February 2000, is undergoing a format change to be contested in both One-Day International (ODI) and T20I formats during all bilateral white-ball series between Australia and New Zealand.

In October 2026, the two nations met for a three-match Women’s T20I series at North Sydney Oval. Australia, led by Sophie Molineux following their 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup victory, secured a 2-0 series win against New Zealand, captained by Amelia Kerr.

Australia won the opening fixture on October 18 by two wickets and the second match on October 20 by 40 runs. The third and final match on October 22 was abandoned due to persistent rain after New Zealand reached 14 for 2 in 2.4 overs. Having already clinched the series, Australia successfully defended the Rose Bowl trophy. Ashleigh Gardner was named Player of the Series. The teams are scheduled for a separate three-match ODI series in March 2027.
