Women’s T20 WC Final: Late Onslaught By Halliday, Kerr Propels NZ To 158/5 Against South Africa
T20 World Cup: Crucial contributions by Amelia Kerr, Brooke Halliday and Suzie Bates propelled New Zealand to 158/5 in 20 overs against South Africa in the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Stadium here on Sunday. Kerr scored 43, Halliday hammered a 38 off 28 balls while Suzie Bates scored 32 as New Zealand posted a decent total in their second-ever final in the event.
Georgia Plimmer and Suzie Bates, on the night she moved past Mithali Raj to reach the milestone for most appearances in Women’s international cricket (334), opened the innings for New Zealand and started off strong with the former scoring two boundaries off Marizanne Kapp’s over.
However, her time at the crease came to a short conclusion as an attempted six over long-on in the second over saw the ball go straight to Sune Luus. Suzie was the next to depart after her shuffle across the stumps was caught by Nonkululeko Mlaba, who bowled her leg stump to give her side the important breakthrough.
