The England women’s team will look to take an unassailable series lead when it takes on New Zealand in the second T20I at St. Lawrence Ground in Canterbury on Saturday.
The host took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series with a convincing seven-wicket win, which was powered by opener Alice Capsey’s unbeaten 51-ball 74. Her knock helped England chase down a modest 137-run target with 16 balls to spare. With the ball, pacer Lauren Bell and spinner Charlie Dean picked two wickets apiece to restrict the visitors to 136 for seven in 20 overs.
Earlier, the ODI series between the two teams had ended in a 1-1 draw.
