J Goswami to L Down
Four more! 9 needed off the final eight deliveries. Attempted yorker but misses the length on the middle stump. Down clears her front leg and strikes well using full swing of her bat. The long off fielder is straighter and fails to get to the ball.

A run a ball needed in the final over. Fuller delivery on the leg stump. Tucked away behind square in the leg side. The deep fine leg fielder covers some good yards towards her left to get to the ball. Two more runs added to the total.

D Sharma to L Down
And it's all over! Charges down the track and smacks this down the ground for a biggie! Tossed up delivery outside the off stump. Lauren Down reaches near the pitch of the ball and smashes this straight down the ground using full swing of her bat. New Zealand win the series by taking an unassailable lead of 3-0.
NZW won by 3 wickets
That's it that's the game here for the White Ferns. They chased down a total of 280 with 5 balls to spare. With that, they are now leading in the series with a scoreline of 3-0. This is the second-highest chase in the history of women one-day internationals. Absolute masterclass with the bat from the White Ferns to pull off this chase. It's been perfect preparation for the hosts on the verge of the cricket world cup.
Chasing the total of 280. New Zealand didn't get the start that they were looking for as both the experienced batters and openers went back to the pavilion in no time. Thanks to another masterclass effort from Jhulan Goswami. She trapped Sophie Devine in front of the wickets and knocks over Suzie Bates in the next over. As both of them managed to score duck and 2 respectively.
Amelia Kerr in at 3 played another brilliant inning for her team as she batted brilliantly after the team was struggling from the start. She scored 67 runs from 80 balls. Amy Satterthwaite came out to bat at number 4 and she also batted really well with Kerr she built a strong partnership in the middle overs. She scored 59 runs from 76 balls before she was undone by another brilliant delivery off Jhulan Goswami.
Maddy Green scored 24 runs off 27 balls and she was looking dangerous at one stage but she was undone by the beautiful inswinger from Renuka Thakur that went through the gates and knocked off the stumps. Katey Martin played a useful hand of 35 runs from 37 balls and she really kept the scoreboard ticking throughout her stay. But the match-defining knock was played by Lauren Down as she played a match-winning knock of 64 runs from 52 balls to steer his team over the winning line. Frances Mackay scored the 17 runs off 12 balls at the very end of the match and that turn out to be a match-defining knock.

Lauren Down | Player of the Match - "It was good fun, really nice to guide the team home in a record chase. We back our batting order, and weren't feeling a lot of pressure (on the record chase) - the challenge was to rotate the strike and make the most of the bad ball. We know they'll come back in the final two games, they're a quality team. Some celebrations tonight and back to the games once again."
