- England, 104-3, beat New Zealand, 103-8, by 7 wkts
- England’s Sarah Glenn does damage with 4-19
England handed New Zealand a humiliating defeat here on Saturday evening, winning the fourth T20 by seven wickets with 51 balls to spare. Fittingly it was Nat Sciver-Brunt who brought up the winning runs, reverse-sweeping Melie Kerr for back-to-back boundaries just 24 hours after Surrey CCC chose to honour their Super League-winning captain by unveiling a new gate at the Oval bearing her name.
The captain, Heather Knight, who returned from her one-match hiatus to share a 31-run partnership with Sciver-Brunt, labelled it a “ruthless” performance and said that England had “fed off the energy” from the 16,500-strong crowd.
