| |  Wednesday, 17 July, 2002, 15:53 GMT 16:53 UK White Ferns set for final Pullar starred again with figures of three for 10 Women's one-day tri-series, Durham: New Zealand 96-5 (28.4 overs) beat India 95 all out (41.1 overs) by five wickets They may not have had it all their own way, but New Zealand Women inflicted a third triangular series defeat on India by five wickets at Durham. Chasing just 96 for victory after again bowling India out cheaply, the White Ferns lost four wickets in two overs with the score on 40.
Slow left-armer Neetu David did most of the damage, taking all three of her wickets in a single over. But Haidee Tiffen and Sara McGlashan put on 55 for the fifth wicket. And Aimee Mason did not even take strike following McGlashan's run out for 21 before Tiffen hit the winning runs, finishing 30 not out. The result leaves India unable to make Saturday's triangular series final, but they have a final chance to gain a win when they take on England on Friday. Lower order collapse Anjum Chopra's side can at least take heart from a more sturdy display than their last against New Zealand. Bowled out for a team record 26 by the White Ferns last week, they had looked in a solid position at 77 for three.
Pullar again contributed a miserly spell of pace bowling, taking three for 10 in eight overs. Maben and vice-captain Mithali Raj shared a 38-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Raj top-scored with 28 from 60 deliveries, including four boundaries, before she was caught off spinner Aimee Mason. New Zealand Women: E C Drumm (Capt), R J Rolls (Wkt), N Payne H M Tiffen, K L Pulford, S McGlashan, L Milliken, A L Mason N J Browne, R J Pullar, A M Corbin. India Women: A Chopra (Capt), M Raj, N David, D M Kulkarni, H Kala M Maben, J Sharma, J Goswami, S Singh, A Kirkire, S Naik (Wkt). Umpires: G D Cooper and R T Robinson | |
