How did Match 14 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 go between Australia Women and Netherlands Women?
Australia Women continued their dominant run in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 with a comprehensive 98-run victory over Netherlands Women at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on June 20.
After being asked to bat first, Australia posted a formidable total of 219/6 in their allotted 20 overs. The batting effort was led by Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner, both of whom scored impressive half-centuries. Iris Zwilling was the standout performer with the ball for the Netherlands, finishing with figures of 3/52, while Caroline De Lange chipped in with 2/39.
Chasing a daunting target of 220, Netherlands Women showed some resistance but never seriously threatened Australia’s total. They finished on 121/3 in their 20 overs, falling well short of the target. Babette de Leede was the bright spot for the Dutch side, scoring a fighting unbeaten 56 and holding the innings together. Kim Garth was the pick of the bowlers, claiming two wickets and playing a key role in restricting the opposition.
Best Batting Performance of the Match: Beth Mooney
Australian opener Beth Mooney was the top batting performer of the match, scoring 74 runs off 42 balls, including nine fours and one six, at a strike rate of 176.19. She also shared a 101-run partnership for the third wicket with Ashleigh Gardner, with the stand coming in just 53 balls.

Right-arm pacer Kim Garth was the standout bowler of the match, returning figures of 2/20 from her four overs. She claimed the wickets of Heather Siegers and Phebe Molkenboer. Meanwhile, Lucy Hamilton also impressed with the ball, maintaining an excellent economy rate of 3.20 runs per over.
Who won the Player of the Match award?
Beth Mooney was named Player of the Match for her brilliant half-century. The Australian opener scored 74 runs off just 42 balls before being forced to retire hurt. Her explosive knock, which included nine fours and a six, put Australia in a commanding position and nearly helped the team equal the highest total in Women’s T20 International history.
