Amy Jones’ unbeaten 86 guided England to a dominant eight-wicket win over New Zealand in their final group match of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup at Visakhapatnam.
Earlier, England’s bowlers shone collectively, dismissing New Zealand for 168, with Linsey Smith taking 3-30 and Nat Sciver-Brunt and Alice Capsey claiming two each. From 89/1, the White Ferns collapsed, losing nine wickets for 79 runs.
Chasing 169, Jones and Tammy Beaumont (40) shared a 75-run opening stand as England eased home with 124 balls to spare, sealing second place and a semi-final berth against South Africa. Sophie Devine bid farewell to ODIs.
