Record stand helps England women to four-wicket win over New Zealand

Author: Reuters

A record seventh-wicket stand by Amy Jones and Charlie Dean helped bail England out of trouble and secure a four-wicket win over New Zealand in Wellington on Monday in the first one-day international of a three-match series. After being put in to bat, New Zealand posted a total of 207 and took wickets at a consistent rate early on to leave England reeling at 79-6. England were eventually rescued by Jones (92 not out) and Dean (42 not out), who guided the visitors over the finish line with their assured partnership. The unbeaten 130-run stand between the pair bettered the previous record of 122 between India’s Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar against Pakistan in a 2022 Women’s World Cup match at Mount Maunganui.
