England Top Order Woes Continue as NZ Complete ODI Sweep

New Zealand's Blair Tickner and Zak Foulkes secured a two-wicket win, completing a 3-0 series sweep with New Zealand winning 25 of their last 27 home ODIs.

  • On Saturday, New Zealand edged England by two wickets at Sky Stadium, Wellington to complete a 3-0 series sweep in the third one-day international.
  • England's top order collapsed repeatedly, bowled out inside 50 overs as New Zealand seamers Blair Tickner and Jacob Duffy dismantled them.
  • The chase was complicated by two runouts caused by deflections, while Jamie Overton and Brydon Carse put on 58 for the eighth wicket with Overton scoring a maiden ODI 68.
  • England head to the Ashes low on form as their top four scored just 84 runs in the series, while Ben Duckett and Joe Root's dismal form raises concern less than three weeks before the Ashes.
  • Tickner, who was called in as a replacement, took a four-wicket haul after injuries to Kyle Jamieson and Matt Henry, while New Zealand's home record shows 25 wins in 29 ODIs since 2019.
