Sophie Ecclestone took five wickets as the tourists lost five wickets for 27 runs
England breezed to an ODI series victory over New Zealand with Maia Bouchier making a maiden professional century in a thumping eight-wicket win at Worcester.
The 25-year-old, who made exactly 100 from 88 balls and struck 17 fours, was helped to her landmark century by Nat Sciver-Brunt who showed no interest in scoring runs in the closing overs. Amelia Kerr , Maddy Green and skipper Sophie Devine offered some resistance as the innings recovered to 114 for three.
Ecclestone broke a sedate third-wicket partnership of 46 in 72 balls between Devine and Amelia Kerr to turn the tide England’s way.Green and Amelia Kerr then compiled the best partnership of the innings, 58 in 82 balls, when the former was trapped on the pad by Charlie Dean.Amelia Kerr passed 2,000 ODI runs in her 86-ball stay before offering Dean a return catch, and the carnage continued as Ecclestone removed Izzy Gaze and Molly Penfold without scoring.
