  • The New Zealand women’s continued to break records against Ireland as the White Ferns posted 440 for three in the third one-day game against Ireland in Dublin on Wednesday.

    Amelia Kerr smashed an unbeaten 232 from just 145 balls with 31 fours and two sixes to help the Kiwis cross the 400-run mark once again on Wednesday after posting 490 for four and 418 in the previous two matches against the same opponents.

    The White Ferns became the first team in men’s or women’s cricket to cross 400 in an ODI for three straight matches.

    Kerr also became the youngest ever to hit a double-ton in international cricket. She broke the record of Pakistan legend Javed Miandad who hit a double ton in Tests at the age of 19 years and 140 days, against New Zealand in Karachi. Kerr achieved the feat at the age of 17 years and 243 days.

    It was the first three-figure score for Kerr in international cricket after 19 ODIs and nine T20s.
