Tiffen makes short work of Irish

Women's One-day international, Dublin: New Zealand 91-1 beat Ireland 90 all out by 9 wickets

New Zealand took just 20 overs to complete a 2-0 series victory over Ireland with a nine-wicket win in Dublin in the third match of the series.

Despite recovering from 20 for five at one point, having chosen to bat first on a rain-hit day, the hosts were bowled out for 90.

Nicola Browne took four for 21 and there were two wickets each for Rachel Pullar and Haidee Tiffen, who conceded just 12 runs from nine overs.

Tiffen then top-scored with 33 but her dismissal brought Sara McGlashan together with Nicola Payne as the World Cup holders finished the job.

Payne finished 32 not out.

The match was the sixth of the White Ferns' European tour, in which they are still undefeated after six matches in Holland and Ireland.

More challenging opponents await, though, in Jersey where England and India begin the tri-series on Wednesday. New Zealand face India the following day.
