Press release -

New Zealand win bronze medal at Commonwealth Games

New Zealand 111-2 beat Team England 110-9 by eight wickets

Team England's cricketers missed out on a medal at the Commonwealth Games after New Zealand comfortably won the Bronze Medal match at Edgbaston by eight wickets.

Nat Sciver's side - who lost their semi-final to India yesterday - could only post 110-9 after choosing to bat first and New Zealand had few issues chasing it down, doing so for the loss of just two wickets with eight overs to spare. White Ferns captain Sophie Devine ended unbeaten on 51.

Australia and India will compete for the Gold Medal at 6pm this evening.
