NZ Break World Record to Beat Proteas: ‘We Had No Answers to Brilliant Kerr’ - Wolvaardt

New Zealand captain Amelia Kerr scored an unbeaten 179, leading the White Ferns to a historic world-record run chase against South Africa at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.
South Africa posted a formidable 346 for six in the second ODI, driven by Anneke Bosch's 91 and half-centuries from captain Laura Wolvaardt and Chloe Tryon.
New Zealand surpassed India's previous record of 338, with Izzy Gaze contributing 68 in a crucial 120-run partnership with Kerr before she was dismissed.
"I was really calm out there," Kerr said after hitting the winning runs, having amassed 23 fours and one six from 139 balls.
Eclipsing the 280 the side chased in 2022, Kerr rated this her best knock despite her previous high score of 232 against Ireland in 2018.
