SA-W vs NZ-W Final Highlights For Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 

The two best teams in the tournament had an eventful game of cricket on the finals evening for the battle of Women’s T20 World Cup title, which won by New Zealand after defeating South Africa by 32 runs. Let’s look at SA-W vs NZ-W Final Highlights.

It was a big moment for the New Zealand women’s cricket team, as after reaching the finals in the first and second edition of the tournament, they finally made it in their third attempt and claimed their maiden title.  

Amelia Kerr, the highest wicket-taker in the tournament, starred with the bat for New Zealand and played a solid knock of 43 to set the platform for her side for a competitive total. Later, Kerr bagged the most wickets by a bowler in the game and was awarded the player of the tournament award for her outstanding all-round performance.

Invited to bat, New Zealand witnessed a shaky start as they lost their first wicket of Georgia Plimmer in the second over of the game only.  

The highest run-scorer in women’s T20Is, Suzie Bates scored 31-ball 32. Captain Sophie Devine was not able to score much in the game.  

However, Brooke Halliday, who came in at number 5, didn’t let anyone miss the skipper’s batting, as she smashed a 28-ball 38.  

While Maddy Green’s 6-ball 12* was the cherry on the cake of New Zealand’s final total.

South Africa require 159 to win World Cup in 20 overs 

Chasing a target of 159, South African openers made a calculative start, as they took chances on loose deliveries and played decently on good balls.  

Captain Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Britts added 51 for the first wicket. Things were looking in South Africa’s control, but the wicket of skipper at the score 59, changed the whole scenario of the match.  

Wolvaardt was out on 33, her dismissal handed New Zealand advantage in the game, and their bowlers grabbed the opportunity, as South Africa lost next three in the span of 13 runs.  

With 77 for 5, South Africa’s last hope was on the partnership between Chloe Tryon and Sune Luus. That partnership also lasted for 20 runs, as the Proteas fell short by 32 runs.  

Amelie Kerr received the player of the match for her impressive knock with the bat, and a three-wicket spell with the ball.
