After two nail-bitters, New Zealand Women and South Africa Women are all set to play the series decider at Basin Reserve, Wellington, on 04th April, from 3:30 am onwards. The series is currently poised at 1-1. New Zealand Women have already won the T20I series 4-1 and will be eying a clean sweep at home.
The series is in the news for the records being broken and for the last-ball finishes. In the first game, Kayla Reyneke, the 20-year-old South African, helped SA Women win on the final ball by hitting a six. The debutant played 2 dot balls, taking the equation from 3 balls 6 runs to 1 ball 6 runs earlier. Ayabonga Khaka picked up 6 wickets in the game.
The second game raised the hopes of the SA Women to win the series with one game in hand, after they scored 346 runs on the board. Half-centuries from Anneke Bosch, Laura Wolvaardt, and Chloe Tryon were the highlights of the first innings. But Amelia Kerr had different ambitions. She scored an unbeaten 179 runs off 139 balls with 23 fours and 1 six. Her 120-run partnership with Isabella Gaze helped NZ Women keep the series alive in the last over of the game.
This was the highest successful run chase ever done in Women’s cricket. The match had a total of 696 runs in 99.4 overs with 81 fours and 7 sixes. The fun part - 256 balls were played as a dot. That’s 42.4 overs out of 99.4. Rosemary Mair had an unwanted record in her name. She has now conceded the most runs in an innings (81) for New Zealand.
