New Zealand Women created a new record in women’s ODI cricket in the second ODI against South Africa Women at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.

They achieved the highest successful run chase in the history of women’s ODI cricket, breaking the previous record held by India in the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup. NZ women successfully chased 347 run target and defeating South Africa by two wickets. Amelia Kerr was the anchor in the chase with an unbeaten innings of 179 off 139 balls as New Zealand Women won the match against South Africa Women and leveled the series.
