Sophie Devine's final ODI ended in disappointment after she departed caught behind to Nat Sciver-Brunt on 23, sparking a collapse which saw New Zealand lose their last five wickets for 13 runs. Devine did chime in with a final wicket, trapping Heather Knight leg-before for 33, but despite surrounding Amy Jones with close fielders in the next over Jones was able to sneak the winning boundary through the off-side, finishing unbeaten on 86 as England won with 124 balls to spare.

Hello and welcome to Match 9 of the Cricket World Cup! Today we've got Australia taking on Pakistan, which should be an interesting match up. Pakistan are yet to win a game, but they bowled admirably against India. Their batting hasn't yet really fired at this tournament, which left them with a big defeat to India and unable to match it with Bangladesh. Against a very strong Australian bowling attack, they will need a hugely improved batting performance if they want to be in the game today.
