New Zealand to Series Victory Over Zimbabwe

Captain fantastic Amelia Kerr stars again as she powers New Zealand to Series Victory Over Zimbabwe, guiding the White Ferns to an unassailable lead in Hamilton.

HAMILTON, NEW ZEALAND – February 27, 2026 – Amelia Kerr continued her dream start as full-time captain, leading the White Ferns to a convincing series-clinching victory over Zimbabwe in the second T20I at Seddon Park on Friday. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, New Zealand posted a formidable total of 196 runs before bowling out the visitors for just 94 to seal the match and the three-match series with a game to spare .

Following her record-breaking century in the series opener, Kerr was in the thick of the action once again. While she didn’t replicate her heroics with the bat, her all-round contribution and the team’s disciplined bowling performance proved too much for the Lady Chevrons. Chasing a stiff target, Zimbabwe’s top order crumbled under the pressure applied by the New Zealand attack.

Under mounting pressure from the New Zealand attack, the Zimbabwe batters found it impossible to build any meaningful partnerships. Kelis Ndhlovu top-scored with a gritty 19, but the rest of the batting line-up failed to fire. The Kerr sisters were instrumental with the ball; Jess Kerr struck early to remove Nyasha Gwanzura, while skipper Amelia Kerr chipped in with the key wicket of Beloved Biza . Bree Illing was also among the wicket-takers as Zimbabwe was bundled out, handing New Zealand a comprehensive victory.

The win gives New Zealand an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, showcasing their depth and the seamless transition into the Amelia Kerr captaincy era .
