In a dramatic turn of events, England suffered a stunning collapse, allowing New Zealand to claim a thrilling three runs victory in the third T20 match in Nelson. Despite being well-positioned in their pursuit of 156 runs, England lost six wickets for just 25 runs, ultimately failing to secure what seemed to be an inevitable victory.

New Zealand’s skipper, Sophie Devine played a crucial role with both bat and ball scoring a quick-fire 60 and executing a brilliant final over to secure the win. Despite the disappointment, England captain Heather Knight acknowledged the need for better composure and smart play in crucial moments.

She praised the performance of Maia Bouchier but emphasized the lessons to be learned from the loss, particularly for the inexperienced players in the team.
