A remarkable collapse from England handed New Zealand a dramatic three-run victory in the third T20 as the hosts kept the series alive in Nelson.But Maia Bouchier fell for 71 and England lost six for 25 when set for an unassailable 3-0 series lead.
New Zealand skipper Devine put on 99 from 68 with Amelia Kerr and was the bowler when Bouchier was caught to spark the turnaround. Bouchier had hit a six and 11 fours when she tried to clear the ropes again but this time picked out long-on. Armitage was bowled off her pads by off-spinner Bates with her first ball of the match - the first delivery of the final over.
New Zealand's total was their highest against England but was still no more than par on a pitch that offered little for the bowlers until it began to slow late on.
