If you've missed this anywhere over the last decade or so, Australia's women are absurdly good at cricket and are ruthlessly demonstrating that in the round-robin stage of the 50-over World Cup in New Zealand.

They've just thumped South Africa by six wickets off the back of a phenomenal century from one of the best in the business, Meg Lanning.

Check out the summary here, and bask in the skippers' unadulterated brilliance everywhere.

There's not been many, but the fans that are in the Gaddafi Stadium are making plenty of noise.

It's the first Test the city has hosted in 13 years, which is an awful long time between drinks.

From an Australian perspective, yesterday again belonged to Usman Khawaja.

His sublime 91 (219) was his third score above 90 this series and was so well constructed, patiently leaving or defending the good balls and punishing any variance on length from the bowlers.

It wasn't chanceless, but still very well constructed.

To illustrate just how important Khawaja has been to Australia on this tour, it's worth looking at the list of top scores and who's got them.

Of the 12 scores of 90 or more in this series, Australians have five of them. Khawaja has three (91, 97 and 160), with Alex Carey (93) and Marnus Labuschagne (90) the other two.

Pakistan has the rest, with Babar Azam (196), Azhar Ali (185), Imam-ul-Haq (157, 111*), Abdullah Shafique (136*) and Mohammad Rizwan
