England vs New Zealand: Alice Capsey powers England to tense six-wicket win in T20I series | Cricket News


Alice Capsey powered England to a six-wicket victory over New Zealand, with just four balls remaining, to secure a T20I series win at The Spitfire Ground in Canterbury.

Capsey (67) steered the ship and reached her half-century motoring on at a run a ball, with six fours and one six helping to her a career-best score for England.

There was also a decisive knock from Freya Kemp (16) that helped her side over the line as she added 11 runs in the 19th over.

Fran Jonas (2-23) took two key wickets in two balls for the White Ferns to dismiss Sophia Dunkley (35) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (0) but will rue the misfield in the final over that clinched England the win and put them 3-0 up in the series.

Sophie Ecclestone (4-25) had also laid the groundwork for England with her four-fer, two coming in the eighth over, nullifying New Zealand’s strike as they set England a target of 142.

England headed into the match with a 2-0 lead in the series and as World Cup preparation continued, skipper Heather Knight was granted a rest along with Danni Wyatt and Lauren Bell, Dunkley, Lauren Filer, and Kemp coming into the side.

They will now aim for wins at The Oval and Lord’s to secure the series whitewash after taking a 3-0 lead.
