TEENAGER SMASHES ODI BATTING RECORD

DUBLIN: New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr on Wednesday shattered former Australian skipper Belinda Clark’s (229*) 21-year-old record for the highest score in women’s ODI as she scored an unbeaten 232 in a match against Ireland. The 17-year-old Amelia hit a whopping 31 fours and two sixes in her 145-ball knock that took her side to 440 for 3 after electing to bat first in the third ODI. In reply, Ireland were bundled out for a paltry 135 with Kerr picking up five wickets to romp her side to a 305-run victory.
