New Zealand Complete Historic 3-0 ODI Series Whitewash Over England in Wellington

New Zealand completed a historic 3-0 whitewash over England in the ODI series, their first clean sweep against England since 1983. The final match was a thrilling two-wicket victory, with Zak Foulkes and Blair Tickner guiding the team home after a tense chase of 223 runs. England struggled consistently with their batting, being bowled out well before completing their 50 overs in all three matches, while New Zealand's bowlers, especially Blair Tickner, performed impressively, with Tickner finishing as the leading wicket-taker of the series. Key contributions from Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and captain Mitchell Santner were crucial in the run chases across the series. England's captain Harry Brook acknowledged the disappointment but praised the return of fast bowler Jofra Archer, who showed signs of fitness ahead of the upcoming Ashes series. New Zealand now aims to maintain their dominance by winning the final ODI and completing the series whitewash.
