Australia lose in-form quick for series finale in New Zealand
The Aussies will be forced into at least one change for the final game of the series with their opening bowler flying home due to family reasons.
Australia have suffered a minor setback with in-form pacer Darcie Brown to miss the final match of their T20I series against New Zealand due to family reasons.
Brown picked up a pair of wickets during the second match of the series in Mount Maunganui as the Aussies opened up an unassailable 2-0 series lead, but the right-armer has flown home ahead of the third and final game in Wellington in Wednesday.

Experienced quick Megan Schutt sat out the second clash of the series on Sunday and looms as a likely replacement for Brown, while all-rounder Charli Knott could also come into contention for an international debut.
Knott received a call-up to the squad prior to the second game when star all-rounder Ash Gardner was ruled out of the series with a finger injury.
Brown has three wickets from the opening two matches of the series, with teammate Annabel Sutherland the only bowler with more scalps than her.
