Governor-General's XI beat New Zealand by 19 runs in rain-affected warm-up

Lucy Finn's triple-wicket over helped the Governor-General's XI defeat New Zealand by 19 runs in a rain-affected warm-up match at North Sydney Oval.

Rain cut the Governor-General's XI innings to 77 for 2 after 10 overs at North Sydney Oval on Thursday. Charli Knott made 31 off 20 before Amelia Kerr bowled her, while Anika Learoyd stayed not out on 29 from 21.

New Zealand were handed a revised chase of 105 off 60 balls. Lucy Finn struck three times in one over — Georgia Plimmer, Izzy Sharp and Jess Kerr — finishing with 3 for 5. Bella James scored 31 not out from 13 and Maddy Green 15 not out from nine, but the White Ferns could only reach 85 for 6.
