Meg Lanning<\/a>'s Australian side has cemented its status as one of the most dominant teams in cricket history after a world record 22nd straight ODI victory.<\/p>\n

Up against New Zealand in the first ODI in Mount Maunganui, Alyssa Healy<\/a>, Ellyse Perry and Ash Gardner notched half-centuries as Australia chased down a target of 213 with six wickets in hand.<\/p>\n

The win meant that Lanning's side eclipsed Ricky Ponting<\/a>'s dominant Australian side which held the previous longest ODI win streak of 21 back in 2003.<\/p>\n

The historic winning streak began back in India in March 2018, with Australia's last ODI loss coming way back in October, 2017.<\/p>\n

Gardner (53 not out) sealed the record for Australia when slammed a pull shot over the boundary for her third six of the innings, bringing up a half-century in just 41 balls in the process.<\/p>\n

The late flurry came after Perry (56 not out) and Healy (65) set the table following the cheap dismissals of Rachael Haynes and Lanning.<\/p>\n

When Beth Mooney fell for 12 with the score on 4-136, Australia's chase was in a perilous position, before Gardner and Perry brought it home.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Australia held the home side to a below-par score after winning the toss and electing to field first.<\/p>\n

New Zealand looked set to post a mammoth first-innings total, reaching 2-159 before the wicket of the innings' top-scorer, Amelia Kerr (90), resulted in a collapse.<\/p>\n

Megan Schutt was the chief destroyer for Australia, with figures of 4-32 off nine overs, while Nicola Carey finished with 3-34 off 9.5 overs.<\/p>\n
