The White Ferns are hoping to salvage something from their disappointing One-Day International series against Australia.
Having lost four on the trot they have one last chance for a win in the ODI section of the Rose Bowl Series in the final match at the Junction Oval in Melbourne today.
Speaking before the final match the White Ferns captain Aimee Watkins said, “Our performances have been disappointing to date. Today is our chance to play to our potential and show what we are capable of. With three Twenty20 internationals to follow we will use this match as an opportunity to gain some momentum for the matches ahead.”
