New Zealand women cricket team will take on former world champions West Indies in the second semifinal of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday. The winners of this match will take on South Africa, who stunned defending world champions Australia in the first semifinal on Thursday night.
The White Ferns had come into this tournament after a lean run of 10 successive defeats in T20I cricket but got their campaign off to a stunning start with a win over Harmanpreet Kaur’s Indian side. The win ultimately proved crucial as it helped them squeeze past India into the last four stage.
West Indies also had to battle hard to reach the semifinal. It was their stunning win over England in their last Group B match which ensured their passage into the last four.
The Windies women have won just 5 out of the 23 T20I matches against New Zealand and two of those five wins came in the T20 World Cup in 2012 and 2016. The latter was also a semifinal match, where West Indies went on to win the title by defeating Australia.
Deandra Dottin will be the dangerwoman for New Zealand. The Windies batter has the highest strike-rate of 167.3 and most sixes in the tournament as well.
Get ready for the showdown!
