English batsmen have dropped bowlers in all 3 games. They showed more accountability and if they add 50 more runs in every 3 overs they could win some games against a fragile nz batting unit #Nzveng

Tickner and Foulkes held their nerve and ended the chase !!! After a disappointing T20I series, it’s a nice 3-0 to win the ODIS 3-0. #Nzveng
