New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr hit a stunning 179 not out off 139 balls to inspire her side to chase down 346 against South Africa in the highest successful run chase in women’s one-day international history.<\/p>\n

Laura Wolvaardt’s 69 from 74 balls, a 91 from 90 balls by Anneke Bosch and Chloe Tryon’s 25-ball 52 helped South Africa post 346-6 in the second ODI of their series against the Kiwis.<\/p>\n

Kerr came in at 21-1 in New Zealand’s reply and struck 23 fours and one six at a strike rate of 128.78 during her match-winning knock.<\/p>\n

She was helped by Izzy Gaze, who made 68 from 48 balls, as the Kiwis made 350-8 in reaching their target with two balls to spare and levelling the series.<\/p>\n

The previous highest successful chase in women’s ODI cricket was when India made 341-5<\/a> in reaching a 338 target set by Australia in their World Cup semi-final last October.<\/p>\n

Kerr is no stranger to producing heroics, especially against South Africa, as she inspired New Zealand to victory<\/a> against them in a T20 World Cup final in 2024.<\/p>\n

She was also the ICC’s women’s cricketer of the year in 2024. <\/p>\n

Kerr also holds the record for the highest individual innings in a women’s ODI, having hit an unbeaten 232<\/a> against Ireland when aged 17 in 2018. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
