Sune Luus hit a fifty for the Women in Green. Earlier, the White Ferns had the opportunity to post 270-280, but the sudden batting collapse restricted them to 231 in 47.5 overs.

Sophie Devine was the top scorer, amassing 85 runs off 98 balls. Brooke Halliday managed 45 runs off 37 deliveries, but her dismissal in the 39th over started the collapse.
