Women’s T20 WC: Bates Bowling Final Over Was A Michael Jordan Moment, Says Kerr
T20 World Cup: West Indies needed 15 runs off the last over in their 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, who in turn handed the ball to Suzie Bates. Despite Zaida James hitting a first-ball four, Suzie managed to get her out and give away only two runs on the last three balls to help New Zealand reach the final for the first time since 2010.
Leg-spinner Amelia Kerr, the tournament’s leading wicket-taker, revealed she told captain Sophie Devine to have Suzie bowl the last over, which she believes became a Michael Jordan moment for the white ferns.
"I looked at Suzie and said, 'Suzie I think you should bowl,' and she said to Sophie, 'bowl me, I want to bowl it'. That's huge from your leader, your most capped player, to step up again in that moment. She's done it before for us, she's a bit of a last-over specialist and she likes to call herself Michael Jordan. I think that was a Michael Jordan moment," said Amelia after the match ended.
