Middle order batting collapse thwarts home team as New Zealand level series
England were matched at [1.04] on Betfair to defeat New Zealand in today's third ODI at Bristol.
Chasing a seemingly small total of 182, Betfair customers were content to pile into the home team at skinny odds, £18,852 was matched on Collingwood's team at [1.04].
But a middle order batting collapse gave the Kiwis hope, and they seized on the opening to push through the advantage. The Black Caps were matched at [29.0] to win on betfair.
England fell short needing 23 runs for victory.
There are two ODIs remaining and England trade as [1.86] favourites in an emerging market
