'How it goes sometimes': Collapse no worries for Aussie champs

Key points

  • Ellyse Perry says Australia's late batting slump against New Zealand in the opening T20I in Sydney came down to poor execution rather than a flawed game plan.
  • Australia were cruising at 0-102 after ten overs of their chase toward 163 before losing six wickets for 57 runs, then edged home by two wickets with seven balls remaining.
  • Perry said several batters had little recent time in the middle, pointing to a three-match ODI series against Bangladesh in which only about five players batted significantly.
