Sophie Devine, Maddy Green Rescue NZ in 14-Run T20 Victory

A brilliant rescue act from Sophie Devine and Maddy Green turned a dismal start into a match-winning total as New Zealand beat England by 14 runs at the St Lawrence Ground. After slumping to 11 for four, the pair added 158 runs in just 98 balls, lifting the total to 170 for five. Devine smashed 87, and Green finished 56 not out. England replied with a promising platform but lost regular wickets. Maia Bouchier top-scored with 38, yet the required rate kept climbing. Nancy Patel’s two wickets and a tight death spell from Bree Illing ensured England finished at 156 for six. The result leaves the series poised for a thrilling finale on Tuesday.
