Summary New Zealand lead five-match series by 3-0.
Lincoln (Web Desk) - New Zealand beat Pakistan by eight wickets in the third One Day International at Lincoln on Sunday.
Grabbing the chance to bat first after captain Sana Mir won the toss, Pakistan Women’s 263-6 was also their highest total in eight ODIs against the White Ferns— who suffered from an off-day with the ball and in the field in their biggest challenge yet of the Series, against an opponent who had never defeated them.
Captain Suzie Bates (74 off 88) led the way early, dominating a 60-run stand for the first wicket with Rachel Priest, before going on to a 102-run partnership with Satterthwaite for the second.
First drop Satterthwaite and Katey Martin — who raced to her fourth ODI half century in five matches with a 45-ball effort — then poured on an unbroken 105 off 85 balls for the third wicket, Satterthwaite (115 not out off 101 balls) polishing off the winning runs in the 43rd over with consecutive boundaries off Asmavia Iqbal and collecting her second Player of the Match award on the trot.
