Year 12 Macleans College student Kaitlyn Rawlings (Te Kanawa House) has helped New Zealand secure a silver medal at the Junior World Series in South Africa, representing her country in the U18 Girls Indoor Cricket team.
The tournament featured seven nations: New Zealand, England, Australia, India, Singapore, Sri Lanka and South Africa. New Zealand performed strongly during pool play, finishing at the top of the table with a comfortable lead and recording two wins over their biggest rival, Australia.
Their strong performance earned the team direct entry to the final, where they faced Australia after the semi-finals. Despite their earlier victories, New Zealand were unable to secure the championship, finishing the tournament with a silver medal.
