Incredible result. Crazy to think we'd lost 10 straight t20s in the lead in to this tournament!

Kerr player of the match and the tournament. What a ridiculous talent she is.

To Aust and Eng.

Who gives a shit now. Quite the weekend for NZ sport.

In hindsight, probably the best build up we could have had - in terms of 10 games against top quality opposition.

Those quick runs at the end from Halliday and Green made a big difference.

Funnily enough Cycs when I saw how girls went it reminded me of what James Parsons talked about on Aotearoa Rugby Pod last week. He was saying one of the great things he learnt playing top level sport is to be positive. When you are losing etc, you don't look to put blame etc on individuals etc, but look at how to fix things that went wrong!
And bloody good stuff from the girls, I not into T20 at all but still pleased for anyone who does well.

South Africa are a good side, but they have been second best tonight.

Cliche: played their final last game.

Well done NZ.

The win will also be like winning Lotto for many of the players.

The winning team receives NZ$3.8 million in prize money, to be divided among the 15-strong squad - meaning each player will receive $205,000.

You could say that Aus and India peaked between World Cups, and we peaked when it really mattered..

@Donsteppa Another thing that makes me feel really old.

I can remember watching Amelia Kerrs granddad play for NZ

[Rapido]

He had 200 out of his team's 270 odd when he was dismissed.

[MN5]

Ex black cap apparently.

I have absolutely no recollection of him at all. Obviously snuck a couple of cheeky ODIs ?

I’m amazed no one has broken the record at Pukekura park to be honest given it’s physically impossible to score anything other than 1,4 or 6.

Out in the 39th over, imagine if he could have batted through .....

[Cyclops]

No one else on either side even managed a 50 (next best was 49), and Otago were bowled out for 103, just barely getting to half of Bowes total.

WA against Tasmania. From 52-2 to 53 all out with the only run a wide. Batters 5 to 10 all with ducks. Spectacular.

If they were Pakis instead of Aussies there'd be all sorts of allegations of match fixing.

England trailing Pakistan by three runs with five wickets in hand.

Root still in.

Will be interesting to see what happens there. Pakistan favourites one would think.

Negative three for 5? Surely overwhelming favorites

Edit: Pakistan$1.07 to win

That's why they're 1.07 not 1.02
