Alice Capsey hit an unbeaten 67 as England clinched a tense six-wicket win over New Zealand in the third T20 international to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
England lost in-form Maia Bouchier for a first-ball duck but Capsey and Sophia Dunkley enjoyed a 66-run stand for the second wicket. Freya Kemp bludgeoned 16 off eight balls before Capsey hit the winning runs - albeit via a streaky shot and misfield - with four balls to spare.The margin of victory in the previous three one-day internationals and two T20s between the two sides had been so emphatic that England are heading into experimentation territory.
England also gave opener Danni Wyatt the night off which afforded the talented Dunkley an opportunity at the top as she played her first T20 international since March and her breezy innings gave the hosts a positive start.The teenager is known for her attacking strokeplay but on occasions her aggressive intent can get the better of her.
