Nat Sciver-Brunt (England Captain): "I felt I was out (when asked about not going for the review). It was good, the kind of bowling attack we have, it makes the job easier. Happy to keep England's winning streak going. Yeah a bit of pressure towards the end but we got a deep batting line up so we knew, we were in the game and it was just about one over.
Putting ourselves under pressure, we don't want to do that too often - but to come out the other side, learn from it, and take it to Bangladesh, perfect."

Sophie Devine (New Zealand Captain): "We had a bit of fight, bit of ticker. Really proud of this team, been a tough tour. Proud of the way girls showed fight out in the middle. We had a chat in the middle that if we keep wickets in hand, we can take on the bowlers in the last half.
Absolutely, but look at the England line-up, their spinners and what they've done, I thought our spinners were excellent. It's about learning and adjusting on the go. I'd like a win but this is international cricket, it's tough. We're getting closer."

Alice Capsey (Player of the match): "We got a good start in the powerplay, got a bit tight in the end but the way Kemp finished in the second-to-last over was outstanding. Nice to get over the line.
Best of both worlds, loving batting at No. 3. I think it is the best place to bat in T20 cricket. I would love to keep batting at this position and deliver for the team."

19.2 S Devine to A Capsey
4 MISFIELD FROM JONAS AND ITS A SERIES WIN FOR ENGLAND! Full length on the off stump. Capsey on the front foot looks to swing hard across the line but gets a top edge flying up and over backward point. Jonas runs in the outfield, puts in a dive but fails to get hold of the ball. Makes a meal of a simple opportunity.

18.6 L Kasperek to F Kemp
1 81 kph. Full and outside off, Devine dives across to her left making a good stop.
Back-to-back boundaries for Kemp and this shifts the momentum in favour of England.
18.5 L Kasperek to F Kemp
4 FOUR MORE! Full and on the middle stump. Dances down the pitch and launches it up over the bowler's head. Finds the mid off boundary.
Innovation at its best from Kemp. Goes for the reverse sweep and beats the fielder at short third to pick up a timely boundary.
18.4 L Kasperek to F Kemp
4 FOUR RUNS! Full and just outside the off stump. Kemp down on the knee goes for the reverse sweep. Helps the ball on the way to deep backward point.
18.3 L Kasperek to F Kemp
0 Full on the off stump, turns it back to the bowler.
Another dropped catch, the toughest of the lot but still you have to take these to win matches.
18.2 L Kasperek to F Kemp
2 Around for Kemp. 76 kph. Full around the off stump. Uses her feet to get to the ball and launches it down the ground. Green at long on runs to her right but doesn't get to stop it as the ball goes through her hands.
