Cape Times
|April 02, 2026
PROTEAS Women’s captain Laura Wolvaardt admitted her team “didn't really have answers" for her New Zealand counterpart Amelia Kerr in the White Ferns’ world-record run-chase in the second ODI at the Basin Reserve in Wellington yesterday.
The Proteas’ posted a mammoth 346/6, courtesy of half-centuries from Anneke Bosch (91 off 90 balls), Wolvaardt (69 off 74 balls) and Chloe Tryon (52 not out off 25 balls), but could were stunned by Amelia Kerr’s magnificent unbeaten 179 off 139 balls that steered her team home with two balls to spare.
The Kiwis’ record-breaking effort eclipsed India’s 341/5 against Australia in last year’s World Cup as the highest successful chase in Women’s ODIs.
