10.24pm: Australia go into the World Cup with a dominating 3-0 win over New Zealand. New Zealand have now lost 10 T20Is in a row. The hosts lost Mooney and Healy early in the chase of 147, a below-par score considering the dew, but promotion to Wareham saw Australia keep up the scoring rate. Perry and Gardner played handy knocks. Though New Zealand managed to take the game down to last over, it never felt like they were in the game with the ball. Dew didn't help them either. Plimmer's confident knock - her maiden T20I fifty - is a big positive for New Zealand ahead of the global event but they were found wanting with the ball. For Australia, Wareham's all-round heroics stood out in the final T20I. She returned 2 for 21 before firing with the bat. Sutherland's excellent death bowling fetched her two wickets.
New Zealand will have a lot to think about before they kickstart their World Cup campaign against India in Dubai on October 4. Australia once again will be the favourites.
