Kerr returned figures of 7\/34 in 9.1 overs in New Zealand\u2019s thumping eight-wicket win, surpassing fellow leg-spinner Jackie Lord\u2019s 6\/10 against India in 1982.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old also became only the seventh bowler in women\u2019s ODI history to pick seven wickets in a match. Later in the day, skipper Kerr also scored 45 runs off 40 balls while opening the batting as New Zealand chased down the 103-run target in just 16.2 overs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.<\/p>\n
In the series opener, Kerr had picked up 4\/35 in 10 overs as Zimbabwe was bundled out for 174 while chasing a mammoth 355 runs.<\/p>\n
Kerr, who was Mumbai Indians\u2019 top wicket-taker in the Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) earlier this year, has continued her rich vein of form in the ongoing series against Zimbabwe. She was named the player-of-the-series in the T20I leg against Zimbabwe for scoring 183 runs and taking four wickets.<\/p>\n
