Tammy Beaumont reached her eighth ODI hundred to put England on their way to victory
Tammy Beaumont scored her eighth international 100 in one day as England ended their summer with a landslide 203-run victory over New Zealand at Canterbury.
Beaumont made 102 to help England reach an impressive 347-5, with Amy Jones making 60, Lauren Winfield-Hill 43 and Danni Wyatt adding a quick unbeaten 43 of 20 balls to end the innings.
It was the most runs the White Ferns had conceded in an ODI inning and they never threatened to chase him down, falling to 66-5 before they were finally eliminated by 144 in the 36th with three wickets apiece for Kate Cross (3-3). 44) and Captain Heather Knight (3-24).
England finish as the 4-1 series winner and sign in style in their last engagement before the Winter Ashes series in Australia.
