ICC Women’s World Cup 2017, England vs New Zealand: 5 talking points

#2 Beaumont and Sciver save the Day

Natalie Sciver was the star for England’s win

When Natalie Sciver joined hands with Tammy Beaumont in the middle, there seemed to be no one who could stop them. Sciver played the role of the aggressor in the partnership as Beaumont happily played the second fiddle as both the batters thrashed the Kiwi bowlers all around the park.

Sciver counter-attacked in style as the Kiwi bowlers desperately searched for wickets. Beaumont also joined in the act soon. However, their partnership of 170 runs came to an end with Beaumont's unfortunate dismissal on an individual score of 92.

Shiver, though, went the whole way and completed her century. She was finally dismissed for 129 runs by Amelia Kerr in the 47th over of the innings. Beaumont struck 10 fours and one six in her innings of 92 whereas Sciver struck 11 scintillating boundaries in her innings of 129 off just 111 deliveries.
