At the point when Green circled a basic catch off a Chime more slow ball straight back to the bowler, New Zealand had lost four wickets for only 20 runs in about eight overs and were presently six down. Hannah Rowe and Izzy Look, the last option new off a lady global 50 years in the fifth and last T20I, put on a 32-run organization for the seventh wicket however Sciver-Brunt had Rowe gotten by Knight and Chime yorked Look for 18, endeavoring her leaned toward lap shot. At the point when Dignitary guaranteed her third, Tahuhu holing out to Wyatt racing to one side from long-on, the hosts were at risk for being bowled out inside 50 overs and Chime guaranteed that was the situation with one more astounding yorker that collided with Jess Kerr's center stump.
