In the third WODI match, Amelia Kerr of New Zealand made the highest individual score in a WODI match, and became the youngest cricketer, male or female, to score a double century in One Day International cricket, when she scored 232 not out.[8][9] New Zealand went on to win the WODI series 3–0,[10] scoring 400 or more runs in three consecutive matches, becoming the first team in men's or women's ODIs to do so.[8] Kerr finished the WODI series as the leading run-scorer and wicket-taker, and was named the player of the series.[11]
