“Pretty special. I think at the halfway mark we were probably disappointed with our effort in the field and but always we knew it was a good wicket and you’re always in the game,” Kerr said in the post-match presentation.
“I think that was the key that when we’re in the changing room we still believed we could win and once I got in I knew I had to keep going.”
Kerr’s 120-run partnership with Izzy Gaze was crucial, with the latter coming in when the scoreboard read 130/4 at the halfway mark. Kerr was quick to appreciate Gaze’s quick knock of 68.
“Izzy was awesome. It kind of allowed me to bat but still be positive,” Kerr added.
“She took on a lot of risks and boundaries which put a lot of pressure off me so we were able to build quite a significant partnership after losing two key wickets with Maddy (Green) and Brooke (Halliday) and the way she played was outstanding. She was in her own zone.”
