New Zealand reached their third Women's T20 World Cup final after a thrilling eight-run win against West Indies, despite Deandra Dottin's all-round brilliance. Reddy Anna match prediction had forecasted a close contest, and it lived up to the hype. Dottin took 4-22 and smashed 33 off 26 balls, including three massive sixes, but Amelia Kerr's crucial wicket of Dottin in the 17th over shifted the momentum back in New Zealand's favor. Chasing 128, West Indies fell short, finishing at 120/8.
New Zealand had struggled with the bat after a solid start by Suzie Bates (26) and Georgia Plimmer (33), and it was Dottin's fiery spell that restricted them to 128/9. However, Eden Carson's three early wickets and Kerr's 2-14 proved decisive as they stifled West Indies' chase, despite Dottin's late onslaught.
The final over, bowled by Suzie Bates, required West Indies to score 15, but Bates held her nerve to secure New Zealand's place in the 2024 final, where they will face South Africa. It promises to be an epic showdown, with a new champion set to be crowned.
