England bowlers managed to pull things back in the backend of the New Zealand innings, after cameos from the top-order put the hosts in a decent position.
At one time, New Zealand were 130 for two after 30 overs, and would have been hoping for a 250+ score. However, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
The New Zealand lower-middle order and tailenders were completely blown away by the English bowlers. New Zealand in the end were bowled out for 203 in 48.5 overs with Maddy Green remaining unbeaten on 52.
Kate Cross and Sophie Ecclestone took three wickets each for England while Charlotte Dean chipped in with two.
