On this day in 2018, New Zealand Women’s cricket team scored the highest team total in ODI Women cricket history. The biggest ODI team total ever in women’s cricket - 491 for 4 by New Zealand Women against Ireland Women in Dublin. The architects of the mammoth score were captain Suzie Bates, with 151 (off 94 balls) and No. 3 Maddy Green (122 off 77). Seventeen-year-old Amelia Kerr chipped in with 81 at the end, as they gunned for 500 in the last over. It was a hard day on the field for the Ireland players, who lost by 347 runs, but for none more so than legspinner Cara Murray (also 17) who, on debut, ended up conceding 119 runs from her ten overs - the most expensive in all ODIs.
