‘It’s What Dreams Are Made Of’: Kerr On New Zealand Women’s Maiden T20 WC Title
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Amelia Kerr, the Player of the Tournament in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, was left ‘speechless’ after her outings with both bat and ball guided New Zealand to their maiden title following a 32-run win in the final against South Africa at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Sunday.
The 24-year all-rounder helped the Kiwis defeat South Africa, who finished as the runners-up for the second year running, by 32 runs.
She helped New Zealand set a fighting total of 158/5, scoring a steady 43 runs in the first innings. She then stepped up with the ball and built enormous pressure on the Proteas batters with her three wickets, including the all-important wicket of skipper Laura Wolvaardt, the leading run scorer in this edition of the tournament, when she looked set at 33 runs to restrict their opponents to 126/9.
