The New Zealand women's cricket team played the Ireland women's cricket team in June 2018.[1] The tour consisted of one Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) and three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) matches.[2][3] New Zealand won the one-off WT20I match by ten wickets.[4]
In the first WODI match of the series, New Zealand set a new record for the highest innings total, scoring 490/4 in their 50 overs.[5] At the time it was the highest score in either a men's or women's ODI match.[6] This broke the previous record, also held by New Zealand, of 455/5 against Pakistan in 1997.[7]
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]
