The Women’s T20 World Cup will crown a new champion for the first time since 2016 as South Africa and New Zealand go head-to-head in the highly anticipated final at the Dubai International Stadium this Sunday.
The White Ferns have been in exceptional form this year, delivering dominant performances against teams like India, Pakistan, and the West Indies in their last three matches.
In the second semi-final, the New Zealand side clinched a nail-biting 8-run victory over the 2016 T20 World Cup champions, securing their spot in the final. They will be aiming to lift the trophy for the first time in their history.
On the other hand, this marks South Africa’s second consecutive appearance in a World Cup final. After falling short against Australia in the 2023 championship match, the Proteas women turned the tables this year by ousting the defending champions in the semi-finals.
In a commanding performance, they exacted their revenge by dismantling Tahlia McGrath’s team, securing a convincing 8-wicket victory to book their place in yet another final.
