Australia target record with ODI win in NZ

Australia are aiming to secure a record-setting 22nd straight ODI victory. (AAP)

Meg Lanning has sent New Zealand in to bat as Australia chase a new ODI world record in their series opener on Sunday.

The Australian women's cricket team have won their past 21 one day internationals.

Victory against the White Ferns would stretch Australia's streak to 22 and past Ricky Ponting's dominant 2003 side for the longest winning streak in any format of international cricket.

Their last loss was more than three years ago, at home to England in October 2017.

The Aussies are also competing for the Rose Bowl this week, a trophy they have held for 16 straight series dating back to 1997.

Ellyse Perry and Tayla Vlaeminck are playing their first ODIs since October 2019.

After a tied T20 series last week, the Australian women's cricket team take on the White Ferns in three 50-over matches at Mount Maunganui this week.

AUSTRALIA: Alyssa Healy, Rachael Haynes, Meg Lanning (c), Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, Nicola Carey, Jess Jonassen, Georgia Wareham, Megan Schutt, Tayla Vlaeminck.

NEW ZEALAND: Hayley Jensen, Lauren Down, Amy Satterthwaite (c), Amelia Kerr, Katey Martin, Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Hannah Rowe, Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, Rosemary Mair.
