England vs New Zealand, 5th Women's ODI: Preview, fantasy tips, probable XIs

England and New Zealand will play the fifth and final ODI at St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury, on Sunday, 26 September. England have already taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.

Heather Knight and Charlotte Dean have been the two most impressive players for the hosts. Knight has amassed 214 runs at a remarkable 53.50. Dean, the leading wicket-taker of the series, played a crucial role in staging a 13-run victory for England in the second game.  

A brilliant century from Knight set up a three-wicket victory for the hosts in the last ODI. Lauren Winfield-Hill squandered a promising start, while Tammy Beaumont hasn't done much so far. Amy Jone scored 40 and Danni Wyatt chipped in with a run-a-ball 27.

New Zealand have been inconsistent with the bat. The opening pair of Lauren Down and Suzie Bates has not yet delivered, leaving too much for the rest of the batters. In the third ODI, Maddy Green stood up to the occasion but got out for a duck in the last game.

Amy Satterthwaite has been their leading run-getter, and she forged an important 56-run partnership with Sophie Devine, and an 89-run stand with Katey Martin (65*).
