8:29 AM IST, 3:51 PM Local Time | ALL OVER. England seal the 5 match T20I series. What a clinical performance this has been from them both with bat and ball. They now lead the series by 3-1.

Put to bat first, the visitors posted a mammoth total of 177/3 in their 20 overs. They were all over the New Zealand bowlers and batted brilliantly throughout the 20 overs. Maia Bouchier continued her excellent form from the last game and played a brilliant knock of 91 off just 56 balls. In the end, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Skipper Heather Knight played good little cameos of 29* and 21* runs respectively which helped them cross the 170-mark.

With the ball, there weren't much positives for New Zealand. They did strike early in the powerplay but were pretty ordinary post that and failed to pick up wickets at regular intervals. Rosemary Mair, Fran Jones, and Amelia Kerr all had a wicket to their name. They leaked too many in the end.

Coming to the chase, New Zealand never looked settled and kept losing wicket at regular intervals. They were without Sophie Devine as she was injured during the first innings and did not bat. Chasing a massive total they lost their star batter Suzie Bates early. Bernadine Bezuidenhout and Amelia Kerr did get starts but could not convert it into a big score and scored 23 and 21 runs respectively. Brooke Halliday also batted decently lower down the order and scored 25 runs.

England Women were clinical with the ball and made sure they kept the pressure on the home side throughout the innings. Charlotte Dean was the pick of the bowlers and ended her spell with the figures of 26/4 in her 4 overs. Lauren Bell and Sophie Ecclestone also bowled well and picked up a wicket each.

So, England seal the series and now lead by 3-1 in the 5 match series.
