New Zealand Wins Women’s T20 World Cup, Defeats South Africa in Final

New Zealand Wins Women’s T20 World Cup

The New Zealand team has become the standard of the Women’s T20 World Cup. In the final, New Zealand and South Africa were fighting for the title. The toss was in favor of South Africa and they decided to bowl first. But this decision appeared to be a fraud.

Because New Zealand was alert but continuous run. It was already estimated that 150 runs would be a lot in the Dubai field. So New Zealand played that way. Initially, after being shocked by the form of Georgia, it seemed like a backfoot. But Suzi Bates and Amelia Kerry left the innings. This partnership became a headache for South Africa. After that, Brook Halde batted well in the middle of the middle plan.

New Zealand scored 158 runs in 20 overs and challenged 159 runs for victory. However, South Africa did not reach this challenge. South Africa was defeated by 9 wickets in 20 overs and defeated by 32 runs. Like the men’s team, the women’s team failed to wipe out the seal of chocolates. South Africa has been defeated in the second T20 World Cup.

South Africa’s Missed Opportunity

South Africa had defeated Australia in the semifinals. But in the final round, he could not perform well. Chasing 159 runs, the pace was slowed down. Also, the fear of going wicket was clear. It affected the run, and gradually New Zealand got a catch in the match.

Meanwhile, New Zealand had lost the match against Australia in the series. But in the race for the title, he finally succeeded in winning the ninth episode. New Zealand is the fourth team to win the Women’s T20 World Cup. In the past, England, Australia, and the West Indies have won the title.
