Sarah Glenn took a brilliant four-fer against New Zealand to help England continue their dominance with a seven-wicket victory at The Kia Oval in the fourth T20I.
Glenn (4-19) struck with her very first ball, bowling New Zealand’s opener Georgia Plimmer (17) before striking again two balls later to remove Amelia Kerr (0) for a duck as the tourists continued to struggle against England’s spin attack.
Glenn then removed Maddy Green (24) and Jess Kerr (1) in the 17th over as New Zealand were restricted to103-8.
In reply, England made a blistering start to their chase with openers Sophia Dunkley (26) and Danni Wyatt putting on a 54-run partnership and hitting eight boundaries between them – compared to New Zealand’s seven across their whole innings.
New Zealand managed to put a slight dent in England’s chase, removing their openers in quick succession, but Nat Sciver-Brunt and skipper Heather Knight saw their side home inside 12 overs.
The fifth and final T20I takes place on Wednesday at Lord’s, where the hosts will look to complete a clean sweep, while New Zealand will hope to get their first victory in the multi-format series.
