However, Devine was bowled shortly after the restart by Nat Sciver for 28 and was followed by Katey Martin in the following over. The readjusted DLS chase changed from 87 runs from 26 overs to 72 runs from 18, probably more favourable for England but still a manageable target with six wickets in hand. If the rain had continued New Zealand had done enough to earn a victory via DLS but the fading sun was shining on England when the game re-started. New Zealand made a strong start in the chase at 61-1 and despite losing Suzie Bates (28) and Amy Satterthwaite (1), the White Ferns were still in a strong spot at 111 for four when rain stopped play after the 24th over. Leigh Kasperek (3-31) and Hannah Rowe (3-41) led the way for the New Zealand bowlers. Wyatt made up for the run out mistake with 63 off 72 balls including a last wicket partnership of 52 with England number 11 Tash Farrant which carried the home side from 146 to 197 before they were bowled out in the 44th over. The White Ferns had England in trouble at 118 for six when opener Lauren Winfield-Hill and Danni Wyatt were involved in a run out mix up that saw Winfield-Hill depart for 39.Ĭaptain Sophie Devine later admitted the side lacked mongrel to finish off the England innings from there and they paid for it.
