The England women's cricket team played against the New Zealand women's cricket team in February and March 2021.[3] [4] [5] The six-match series was played during the time that was originally scheduled to be used to host the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup,[6] after that tournament was postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] The fixtures for the tour were confirmed in January 2021,[8] with three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) and three Women's One Day International (WODI) were played.[9] The WT20I matches took place on the same day as the New Zealand men's fixtures at the same venues.[10]

On 27 February 2021, the second WT20I match was moved from Eden Park in Auckland to the Wellington Regional Stadium after Auckland went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] The remaining matches were scheduled to be played behind closed doors.[12] However, crowds were allowed to attend the last WT20I after restrictions were relaxed.[13]

On 1 March 2021, the final WT20I was also moved from the Bay Oval in Tauranga to the Wellington Regional Stadium,[14] after logistical complications arose from the movement of the men's T20I matches.[15]

England won the first two WODI matches to take an unassailable lead in the series.[16] New Zealand won the third WODI by seven wickets, ending a losing streak of eleven matches,[17] with England winning the series 2–1.[18] England also won the first two WT20I matches, winning the series with a game to spare.[19] Nat Sciver captained England for the first time in international cricket for the third WT20I match, after Heather Knight was ruled out of the fixture due to an injury.[20] England went on to win the match by 32 runs to take the series 3–0.[21]

Squads

Issy Wong also travelled with the England squad, but was not part of the playing squad.[26] New Zealand's Lea Tahuhu was ruled out for the last two WODIs due to a hamstring injury,[27] with Gabby Sullivan named as replacement.[28] Lea Tahuhu was also ruled out of the WT20I matches, with Brooke Halliday named as her replacement.[29] Gabby Sullivan was added to New Zealand's WT20I squad as injury cover for Hannah Rowe.[30] Nat Sciver captained England for the third WT20I after Heather Knight was ruled out with a hamstring injury.[31]
