Kerr picked up four wickets in the opening match and followed it with a sensational seven wicket haul in the second game in Dunedin, becoming only the seventh player in women’s ODI history to claim seven or more wickets in an innings. That performance helped Kerr jump five places to 11th in the ODI bowling rankings, while the 25 year old also climbed one spot to fifth among ODI all-rounders. Kerr was not the only player to rise in the rankings. Brooke Halliday surged eight places to 11th in the ODI batting chart, while Maddy Green moved up four spots to joint 22nd after solid performances with the bat. Halliday produced a remarkable knock of 157 not out from 117 balls in the first match, while Green contributed 67 in the same contest and followed it up with an unbeaten 27 in the second game.
