This week on Scotty & Izzy, Kimberlee Downs jumped aboard to fill in for Sumo on the back of a blockbuster weekend of Kiwi sporting excellence.

The weekend began with New Zealand's third consecutive successful defence of the America's Cup, sinking Sir Ben Ainslie's INEOS Britannia with a comprehensive 7-2 triumph to retain the Auld Mug.

The Silver Ferns handed a smack down to the Australians, before the Blackcaps recorded a drought-breaking Test victory on Indian soil in the opening match of their three-Test series.

The crowning glory came Monday morning, when the White Ferns won their first ICC trophy with a comprehensive win over South Africa in the T20 world Cup final.

Catch up on some of the highlights below.
