The women’s T20 World Cup 2024 final between South Africa and New Zealand will take place on Sunday at Dubai International Stadium.
It will be the first women’s T20 World Cup since 2016 being held without a defending champion. Both teams are still recovering from their unfortunate home World Cups last year (in different formats), with South Africa succumbing to Australia in the T20 World Cup final, and New Zealand crashing out of the ODI World Cup in the last year’s group stages.
In the semifinals bonuses towards the final of the UAE, the Proteas sweetly avenged their earlier loss to the Australians, denying them a third consecutive T20 World Cup title. Remembering all too well the pain of losing to the same opponents at the same stage two years prior, the White Ferns had to bury the West Indies in a thrilling elimination bout.
