New Zealand cricketer Amelia Kerr has expressed her preference for facing India rather than Australia in ICC tournaments. She praised the significant challenges posed by India's spin bowlers and the energetic support the Indian team enjoys globally.

Kerr had a memorable performance against India in the 2022 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, scoring a crucial 50 runs and taking 3/56. She marked the dismissal of India's star player Mithali Raj as a cherished moment, highlighting the excitement of game-changing wickets.

Debuting as one of New Zealand's top-order batsmen at just 17, Kerr solidified her position with a record-breaking 232 against Ireland in Women's ODIs. Known for her precision and placement over power-hitting, Kerr values these attributes in her playing style.

Amelia considers playing alongside her sister Jess Kerr as one of the most extraordinary experiences of her career. She fondly remembers a special match against India, where both sisters played pivotal roles in a memorable victory for New Zealand, further strengthening their bond.
