Suzie Bates power White Ferns to a victory
Although 107 was a below-par total, it was a challenge for the visitors in a rather sluggish surface. They started off pretty slow under the presence of skipper Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates. The duo added 37 runs, before Devine was dismissed for 8 off 20 balls.
Then, Amelia Kerr arrived and stabilized the team's innings with her consistent rotation of strike. Bates was imperious with her strokeplay to contribute 54 off 61 balls, laced with six fours.
In the end, Lauren Down remained unbeaten on 9, as White Ferns chased down the score, with a single ball to spare.
