Women’s T20 World Cup: New Zealand Defeat West Indies In Low-scoring Thriller To Reach Final
T20 World Cup: New Zealand defeated West Indies by eight runs to reach the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup final at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday.
Despite Deandre Dottin’s fiery spell which left New Zealand struggling with the bat but the Sophie Devine-led side fought back valiantly to secure a trip to the final in a low-scoring thriller on the backs of impressive bowling performances by Eden Carson and Amelia Kerr.
Batting first, Suzie Bates (26) and Georgia Plimmer (33), who scored the side's only six, got New Zealand off to a decent start with a 48-run opening stand which was broken by Karishma Ramharack as she cleaned the wicket of Bates. Amelia Kerr failed to convert the start and gain the advantage as she was caught off Dottins' delivery in the 12th over.
