Kiwi women crush England

London July 17. New Zealand captain Emily Drumm's unbeaten 63 guided Kiwi women to a seven wicket win over England in the triangular series at Durham's Racecouse Ground on Tuesday.

Drumm shared an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 35 with Haidee Tiffen as New Zealand cruised to its victory target of 112 with 19 overs to spare.

But the match was virtually over as a contest at half-way with England bowled out for a meagre 111 — a number superstitious English cricketers believe is unlucky.

It said something for the poor performance of England's top order that their final total was a minor triumph after a collapse saw the innings subside to 66 for eight.

Only a ninth wicket partnership of 35 between Isa Guha and Laura Spragg took England past three figures. — AFP
