Wellington, February 7:: England beat New Zealand by 50 runs at Christchurch on Thursday to complete a 2-0 series sweep of their two Twenty20 internationals.

England followed up their 32 run win in Auckland on Tuesday with an even more emphatic victory to continue their perfect start to the two-month tour.

England captain Paul Collingwood smashed a half-century to help his team compile a healthy total of 193 for eight before the tourists restricted New Zealand to 143-8 in reply.

Collingwood blasted 54 off just 28 balls, including five boundaries and three sixes, and shared in a 102-run partnership with Owais Shah, who made a brisk 47.

The pair steered England to an healthy total after they had lost four wickets for 12 runs to slump to 76-4 in the ninth over.

New Zealand's hopes of winning disappeared quickly when they crashed to 94-7 in the 14th over.

Jamie How (31) and Kyle Mills (30 not out) both made useful scores but the home side, missing several key players including their skipper Daniel Vettori and all-rounder Jacob Oram, were always too far behind to mount a reasonable challenge.

England opened their tour with back-to-back wins over Canterbury last weekend and have now won all four matches they have played.

They face New Zealand in Wellington on Saturday in the first of five ODIs before the teams square off in three Tests next month.
