Wellington, March 26 (NationPress) Young Australian batter Georgia Voll has credited her mentor and opening partner Beth Mooney for shaping her game following a breakout performance in the 3-0 series sweep against New Zealand. Voll, who struck a career-best 75 off 57 balls in the final T20I, emphasized how batting alongside Mooney has raised her standards.

At merely 21 years old, Voll has emerged as one of Australia’s top performers in 2025. She concluded the series as the second-highest run-scorer, amassing 161 runs, just a step behind Mooney’s 166. The final T20I in Wellington tested her adaptability as she navigated a challenging innings to anchor Australia’s total.
“It was a scratchy knock, definitely not as free-flowing as my first two games,” Voll acknowledged. “But being able to adapt and find ways to score was the most rewarding part.”
She commenced the series with momentum, scoring 50 off 31 balls and 36 off 20, before demonstrating a different aspect of her game in the final match. Despite facing difficulties in her rhythm, Voll played a pivotal role in Australia’s eight-run victory, securing their third consecutive series whitewash over New Zealand.
Mooney, honored as Player of the Series, has been exceptional in 2025, accumulating 575 runs at an average of 72. Her presence at the top of the order has offered invaluable guidance to Voll, who is flourishing under her mentorship. “Playing alongside Mooney, you naturally pick up so much,” Voll expressed. “She’s been incredible, and just watching how she builds her innings has helped me immensely,” she was quoted as saying by local media.
Voll’s next challenge will be with Australia A, facing England A at home. Eager for the opportunity, she views it as another step in her development.
“I haven’t played much one-day cricket recently, so it’ll be great to gain more experience and continue evolving my game,” she stated.
