New Zealand take women's tri-series final
CricInfo Staff - 20 July 2002

England's women slipped to a comprehensive 63-run defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the final of the 2002 Tri-Series tournament at Chester-le-Street.

After winning the toss and putting the tourists in, England started well with two quick wickets. Isa Guha induced an outside edge from Nicola Payne in the first over and Laura Harper held the catch at first slip. Emily Drumm was dismissed two balls later when she top-edged for wicketkeeper Mandie Godliman to take the catch.

However a superb half-century from Katherine Pulford enabled New Zealand to recover to 161 before they were bowled out in the 49th over.

England's run-chase began slowly, and wickets fell steadily throughout their innings. Opener Claire Taylor top-scored with 32, but only two other England players reached double figures as they were bowled out for 98 in the 44th over.
