England defeated New Zealand by seven wickets on Monday (May 25) in the T20I series finale, securing the series 2-1 at the County Ground in Hove. New Zealand had a tough day, getting bowled out for just 80 runs in 19.1 overs.
Captain Amelia Kerr’s choice to bat first did not pay off, as New Zealand struggled against England’s strong bowling. Only three players managed to score in double digits: wicketkeeper Isabella Gaze (17 off 13), Maddy Green (14 off 18), and Jess Kerr (20 off 27).
Sophie Devine, the Player of the Match in the last game, was out for a duck, while Izzy Sharp also fell without scoring. Dani Gibson was the standout for England, taking three wickets.
