Overview
- New Zealand were 141-4 after 24.4 overs, 17 ahead of the par score, when rain ended Saturday's shortened decider in Cardiff.
- England posted 181-7 in a game cut to 33 overs each after long delays, led by Alice Capsey's 45 and a late lift from Amy Jones.
- Seamer Lauren Bell swung the chase early with 3-29, trapping Suzie Bates in her 184th and final ODI along with Melie Kerr and Georgia Plimmer.
- Brooke Halliday's 42 not out, backed by Izzy Gaze's 22 not out, pushed the tourists past the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern target that governs rain-hit chases.
- The series finishes 1-1 and moves into three T20s from May 20 in Derby as World Cup prep, while New Zealand sit first in the current ICC Women's Championship and England rank sixth.
