New Zealand sink England in rain-hit final women’s ODI to tie series

New Zealand won the third and final women's ODI against England at Cardiff on Saturday by 17 runs under the DLS method, with play halted due to rain while New Zealand were 141-4 chasing England's 181-7. Lauren Bell had reduced New Zealand to 40 for three before briefly leaving the field with an injury, but Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, and Izzy Gaze put on enough runs to ensure New Zealand were comfortably ahead on DLS when play was abandoned. The result tied the series 1-1, with ICC Championship points shared between the two sides.
