- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 Mandhana! That is a superb catch and even Devine is impressed. She goes "oooohhhhh" as Mandhana plucks out a beauty at backward point. Short and wide outside off, Devine cracked the cut and it flew to Mandhana's left, she on the dive grabbed it with both hands. Definitely stung her hands and she wrings it off after completing the catch. That wicket should lift India 53/19.2 excellent from Richa and Bates is stumped. Full on the stumps, Bates inside-edges the flick onto the pad, the ball rolls away behind her and she is not sure where it went, wanders out of her crease looking for the single, Richa sharply breaks the stumps with the batter short 84/213.4 bowled her. Length ball angled in, Satterthwaite slogs across the line and misses, the ball hits the stumps. Respite for India 132/318.2 Renuka is all smiles, the slower ball on leg-stump, Mackay shuffles across for the scoop but misses and the ball clips the stump 164/419.1 flat and quick on the stumps, Down sits to slogsweep, edges it onto her back thigh and then the ball deflects onto the stumps. A tad unlucky but she has to go 176/5Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL191/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.55)Fall of wickets: 1-53 (Sophie Devine, 5.6 ov), 2-84 (Suzie Bates, 9.2 ov), 3-132 (Amy Satterthwaite, 13.4 ov), 4-164 (Frances Mackay, 18.2 ov), 5-176 (Lauren Down, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 Massive wicket! Mandhana's love for the pull shot is an open secret. But yet again she falls while attempting the same. Jensen bowls it just short of a good length. Mandhana goes back to exploit the midwicket region. Finds Amelia Kerr at the deep to perfection. She dives and completes the catch safely. India slide further. Two wickets for just five runs so far for Jensen. 19/40.6 What a tame dismissal! Mackay and Verma both can't believe it for varying reasons. Mackay bowls a bouncer outside off. Verma perhaps didn't expect the lack of pace on that. Almost had to wait before going for the pull in front of the wicket. Ends up slapping it to Bates at midwicket, who takes it tumbling forward. 7/11.4 Golden duck for Yastika Bhatia! Yet again falls to the pull shot. Kerr bowls it short, Bhatia looks to go on side but ends up getting a top edge. Bates runs backwards to her left from mid-wicket, keeps her eye on it and takes it comfortably. With a a tumble, of course! 8/22.5 Jensen has the last laugh. Bowls it full, slows down the pace. Vastrakar looks to go downtown. Mistimes it and offers an easy catch to Satterthwaite at mid-on. India in a spot of bother early in this curtailed contest. 12/313.4 Jess Kerr deceives Raj with a slower one! Raj danced down to take the aerial route over mid-on. Misses the change in pace. Goes through with the heave much before the ball arrives, gets castles. It was a split-finger slower one. 105/612.5 Stunning catch from Amelia Kerr! A special knock needed a special effort on the field to end. Ghosh yet again looks to tonk it for a maximum. Was a length ball on middle and leg. Ended up getting the height but Kerr ran to her left from deep midwicket, watched the ball closely and took a good catch. End of a whirlwind knock from Ghosh. That also brings curtains to the 77-run partnership that took just 49 balls coming. 96/517.1 Amelia Kerr gets on the board with the ball now. Full ball on leg, above Sharma's eyeline. She exposed her stumps by moving to the off and went for the sweep. Missed it completely and is bowled. The end is nigh. 124/816.6 Simple as they come. On a full length, more flight on that delivery on off. Rana went for the sweep but got a top edge. Easy catch for short fine leg. 124/717.2 Beauty! Wrong'un is the right one for Amelia Kerr. Lands outside off on a length, Thakur had no clue about which way it will turn. Presents a straight bat in defense but leaves a huge gap between pad and bat. The ball sneaks through to hit the off stump. 124/917.5 That's that! Amelia Kerr did it with the bat earlier, now knocks the last wicket to finish with three. Tossed up on middle, Gayakwad went for the heave across the line but missed. Bowled. New Zealand win by 63 runs to lead the series 4-0. 128/10Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL128 all out (17.5 Overs, RR: 7.17)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Shafali Verma, 0.6 ov), 2-8 (Yastika Bhatia, 1.4 ov), 3-12 (Pooja Vastrakar, 2.5 ov), 4-19 (Smriti Mandhana, 4.4 ov), 5-96 (Richa Ghosh, 12.5 ov), 6-105 (Mithali Raj, 13.4 ov), 7-124 (Sneh Rana, 16.6 ov), 8-124 (Deepti Sharma, 17.1 ov), 9-124 (Renuka Singh, 17.2 ov), 10-128 (Rajeshwari Gayakwad, 17.5 ov)
