Mumbai-Kerr and her four-fer!

The results might not have been in New Zealand’s favour, but Amelia Kerr, as always, has simply been outstanding. With figures of 4/20 in the second T20I, including the big ones of Ash Gardner, Tahila McGrath, Sophie Molineux and Meghan Schutt, along with her foxing Ellyse Perry, she helped derail the Aussies for a sub-par score.

Chloe brilliance leads South Africa to series win over Pakistan

A series win is always special, but a series win away from home even more so, and one in alien conditions of Pakistan make it legendary. A 7-ball 15 in the first game, followed by a miserly spell of 0/13 in three overs, played a major part in South Africa’s win in the first T20I over Pakistan. In the second game where Pakistan piled on 181, she once again was the pick among the bowlers, finishing her four overs for just 26 runs after opening the bowling, before smashing a 16-ball 30 to send a scare in the chase. With the series going into the third T20I tied at 1-1, Chloe stepped up once again with the ball with 1/23 in her four overs, setting the tone and making sure Pakistan end up at a sub-par total, facilitating the 2-1 series win.
