Play halted with tourists ahead on DLS – series drawn 1-1
New Zealand shared the series spoils – and the ICC Championship points – after winning the final one-day international at Cardiff on Saturday by six wickets (DLS method).
Lauren Bell had initially reduced the tourists to 40 for three, before giving everyone a scare ahead of next month’s World Cup when she took a blow to a hand in her follow-through and briefly left the field. But stand-in captain Charlie Dean confirmed this had been merely precautionary: “She took a bit of a hit on her left thumb [in practice] yesterday, and it was a bit bruised and sore. When Maddy [Green] hit one back at her it was salt in the wound.”
