The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Semi-Final 2 will match up New Zealand Women (NZ-W) against the 2016 champions West Indies Women (WI-W) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Friday, October 18.
The New Zealand women’s team captained by Sophie Devine has throughout the tournament been playing an aggressive brand of cricket. Taking group stage to higher level the team fought its way to the semi-final stage. In a one day match of Pepsi champions trophy against Pakistan,they won with a margin of 54 runs. However, the White Ferns might meet new challenges in the knockouts; they would like to be as confident as this.
West Indies, on the other side, emerged winners of three out of their four games to top the group B. The past winners will approach the game with the same attitude because they are familiar with similar crucial games. Women and Hayley Matthews must go to the game to do what they do best in the field.
