Australia’s explosive opener Georgia Voll isn’t just eyeing runs — she’s after redemption. With a whirlwind year behind her, the young batter is determined to make the most of her role at the top of the order against New Zealand.
A Year of Breakthroughs and Missed Chances
Voll’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Since December, she’s blazed through milestones most players only dream of — a maiden international century on debut in India, followed by T20I and Test caps during the fiercely contested Women’s Ashes.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Despite her promising starts in the Ashes T20s, Voll walked away unsatisfied. “I was probably not satisfied with the way that I played the T20s in the Ashes,” she admitted to cricket.com.au.
Her hunger to correct that is unmistakable. She’s locked in on one goal: fulfilling her role and setting Australia up for success.
From WPL Heroics to The Hundred Draft
It’s not just the green and gold where Voll has made her mark. When UP Warriorz called her up as a replacement for Chamari Athapaththu in the Women’s Premier League, Voll delivered — spectacularly. Her blistering 99 not out off 56 balls turned heads.
That knock wasn’t just a statement. It paved the way for her next big break: Birmingham Phoenix scooping her up in The Hundred draft.
Her rise has been fast, but Voll’s mindset remains grounded — focused on the team, the role, and the bigger picture.
A Fresh Focus at the Top with Beth Mooney
Voll’s partnership with seasoned opener Beth Mooney could be key to Australia’s success against New Zealand. Voll is clear on her mission: “It’s a big opportunity for me to go out and play the role that I’ve been asked to play and, if I get the opportunity, get the team off to a really nice start up at the top with Moons (Mooney).”
Her approach this time? Balance aggression with staying power. “In the first game, I got us off to a bit of a flyer, but I was disappointed to get out in that way and not taking the game a little bit deeper. So that’s my focus — not to change my mindset and still be really positive, but take it a little bit deeper and give us the chance to get a really big score.”
What’s Next for Georgia Voll?
With New Zealand on the horizon, Voll has the chance to turn promise into consistency. She’s already proven she can dominate bowling attacks. Now, it’s about sustaining that firepower without burning out too soon.
If she delivers, this series could cement her place as Australia’s go-to opener — and prove that her best is still to come.
