Another White Ferns series, another defeat.
The New Zealand women s cricket team have again been beaten handily, going down to England in their Twenty20 series. Like the one-day series that preceded the 20-over matches, New Zealand have been declared the loser with one match still to play.

Well well well. In 2019 leading into the 50-over World Cup, Australia lost two matches in India and then came back to win three in a row and take the series. This year, with a T20 World Cup on the horizon, they lost the first two matches of this series against New Zealand and have come back to square it 2-2 with one to play.
That remaining match will be at the same ground in Wellington on Sunday afternoon, although allegedly it will be on a new wicket. The surface today looked pretty hard to score on, nobody was timing their shots well at all, and boundaries were scarce.
