England went 2-0 up in the five-match series against New Zealand.
Heather Knight believes England embracing the “chaos” in a rain-affected shootout against New Zealand at Hove augurs well for the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in the autumn.
Responding to a total of 89 for six, New Zealand slipped to 42 for five after 6.4 overs before another downpour proved terminal as England ran out winners by 23 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.While England move 2-0 up in a five-match series which resumes in Canterbury on Thursday, Knight sees the bigger picture of October’s World Cup, where similar situations could unfold.
“Those wickets we took really killed the game. It’s something we’re incredibly good at, hitting boundaries, but we also kept the scoreboard moving and got up to a good score.” There was also a wicket for Sciver-Brunt, who later spilled Brooke Halliday over the rope for New Zealand’s only maximum. But Charlie Dean had Halliday lbw before Suzie Bates reverse swept the off-spinner to Sarah Glenn later in the over.Dean was awarded player of the match, which she admitted was “a bit of burglary”, with Capsey top-scoring for England with 28 off 15 balls and taking a couple of important catches in the chase.
