Overview
- England beat New Zealand by seven wickets to win the three‑match T20 series 2-1 after bowling the tourists out for 80 in the decider at Hove on Monday.
- Dani Gibson took a career-best 3-14 and stand-in captain Charlie Dean returned 3-13 as spinners and slower bowlers shared six wickets to trigger New Zealand's collapse.
- CricViz-tracked metrics underlined the spin success, reporting a high proportion of 'tweaker' deliveries hitting stumps and spinners taking six wickets for 39 runs across the match.
- Selection and balance are now the focus with a three‑match T20 series against India starting later this week and the home T20 World Cup beginning on June 12.
- Nat Sciver‑Brunt faces a fitness fight to be ready for the World Cup and her availability will directly affect England's batting order and all‑round combinations.
