If England's Nat Sciver is looking at her career options after cricket, she should consider pizza... because today she proved that she really can deliver!
England needed 120-odd when Sciver entered the fray in the 25th over; and with 4 wickets down, New Zealand probably felt they had England's tail in sight.
Sarah Taylor... who seems by all accounts back to her nonchalant brilliant best... took England a little closer; but when she fell, that was the key moment for Sciver. England still required over 60. Yes, there were overs in-hand, but the pressure was on - a tail-end collapse would have felt all-too-familiar to England fans; but Sciver stood up and was counted, closing-out the victory on 65 not-out, with a hat-full of overs to spare.
So Aussies beware - Nat's back on track!
Now... bring on the summer, and some games I can actually watch!!
It was a very good and very welcome performance certainly..and I would definitely buy my pizza from Sciver's pizzeria!! :)
