White Ferns star Amelia Kerr has shown her talents are not limited to the cricket pitch, displaying her all-rounder attributes in New Zealand's T20 World Cup celebrations.
Kerr inspired New Zealand to a 32-run victory in the final against South Africa, starring with bat and ball, which saw her named player of the tournament in Dubai.
She top-scored with 43 runs and grabbed three wickets to take her World Cup tally to 15.
But the all-rounder's impressive feats did not end there, as she traded the willow for the guitar, leading the White Ferns in song - Te Iwi E - with the help of older sister and teammate Jess Kerr by her side.

ICC posted the heartwarming clip to social media, with the fitting caption - "Pitch perfect from the champions".
It comes after New Zealand lifted their first-ever T20 World Cup, in their first appearance in a final since 2010, where they were defeated by rivals Australia.
The White Ferns posted 158 for five batting first, before overcoming a fast-starting South African outfit to leave them 126 for nine, 32 runs short.
The win earned the team $3.85 million in prize money.
