England clinched series with five wicket win’s in third ODI.



England crushed New Zealand in final one day international by five wickets, and clinched the three ODI series by 2-1. Fantastic bowling performance by England Pacer Steven Finn gets three wickets and give only 27 runs in 9 overs. New Zealand all-out at 185/10 in 43.5 overs, Brendon McCullum struck a fighting 79 runs.




England skipper Alastair Cook won the toss and elected to field first in final one day international, asking batting first New Zealand lost wickets early, Finn strikes and remove both opener BJ Watling at (1) and Hamish Rutherford at (2), Kane Williamson at (7), brilliant bowling attack by Finn and Anderson. Ross Taylor and Grant Elliot build inning for New Zealand Ross Taylor (28) and Elliot contribute 24 runs, New Zealand is under pressure but skipper Brendon McCullum continuous his form and struck a fighting half century, he struck 79 runs and shows some lusty hitting smashing six four and five sixes, but no one to score in low down the order and New Zealand all-out at 185 runs and 43.5 overs.

While chasing down a lowest total England gets good starts from the opening batsman, Alastair Cook smash a good 46 runs and his partner Ian Bell contribute 24 runs and then Trott played a good inning of 38 runs, Joe Root unbeaten at 28 runs and Eion Morgan smash a quick 39 runs in just 24 balls and that’s its England gets the target 185/5 in 37.3 overs and clinched the three one day international match series by 2-1
