PREVIEW

New Zealand will be looking to draw the series when it takes on England in the third and final women’s ODI in Cardiff on Saturday.

The host clinched a tense one-wicket win in the series opener before the second match was abandoned due to rain, denying it an opportunity to take an unassailable lead.

The three ODIs will be followed by as many T20Is between the two sides as they build towards the Women’s T20 World Cup, which begins next month in England and Wales.
