New Zealand pulled off a stunning two-wicket victory against England, snatching the game from the jaws of defeat as Zak Foulkes and Blair Tickner held their nerves to guide the hosts home in a tense finish. With this win, the Black Caps completed a 3-0 whitewash over a lacklustre England side.

England once again struggled with the bat and were bowled out for 222 in 40.2 overs, the third straight time in the series that they failed to play out their full quota of 50 overs. Blair Tickner continued his dream run, finishing as the leading wicket-taker of the series with eight scalps. He was also New Zealand’s star performer with the ball in the final ODI, claiming 4/64 in his ten overs.
