Pakistan Women skipper Nida Dar gets the trophy and now the team mates join her in the packed press room. The celebrations begin and rightly so. They deserve this series win although New Zealand won today.
Amelia Kerr (New Zealand Women Captain): "Yes, good to get the win. Rain halted proceedings. It was enjoyable and I got support from my team mates. Yes, definitely a lot to think about. Was nervous but then went with instincts in the end. Yes, quite a bowling effort and young bowling line up. Fran bowled well in the end and the bowlers did the hard yards today. It was not easy to bowl to. Jess, Fran, Molly all bowled well and they deserve the win. Even I had a good day. So, happy with the win in the end."
Nida Dar (Pakistan Captain): "It was a very good series for us and we showed our potential, I am looking forward to the next series. We had a tough series against Bangladesh and Asian games, so it was important to have a good display here. I think the girls and newcomers have shown their quality and skills in the match which is a good thing of us. Yes, definitely I am looking forward and hopeful for the ODI series as well."
Fatima Sana (Player of the Series): "Yes, thanks to Allah. Happy with my performance. Yes, picked up the big wickets of Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine and I enjoyed their wickets. I am over the moon."
Suzie Bates | Player of the Match: "Massive for us to step up today, it was important we got the job done. Amelia was fantastic with the bat and how she managed the bowlers. It's hard not to enjoy batting on that wicket but we have spoken in the group about playing aggressively in the powerplay, sometimes it works out sometimes it does not but it's nice to have some momentum heading into ODI series. Batting the way you know you can and contributing to the victory, we have some tough conversations and train really hard as a group and that helps everyone."
8:36 AM IST, 4:06 PM Local Time: Rain brings a premature end to the proceedings as New Zealand have been declared winners via the DLS method.

8:35 AM IST, 4:05 PM Local Time: The two umpires now having a chat with the respective captains. Handshakes all around and this game is done and dusted.
8:26 AM IST, 3:56 PM Local Time: The rain continues to fall in Queenstown. The covers are firmly placed and we have started to lose overs. There is no hurry to take off the covers either. More big covers being brought into the ground. Just get the feeling we could be done for the day.
The umpires have made the decision as the covers come on. As it stands New Zealand are ahead by 6 runs by way of DLS. The rain is getting heavier here.
