New Zealand women beat Pakistan women’s team by 54 runs in a must-win encounter at Dubai International Stadium to qualify for the semifinals. Earlier, in this match, New Zealand captain Sophie Devine elected to bat first after winning the toss and posted a below-par score of 110/6, despite getting a decent start. The target of 111 on a batting-friendly wicket like Dubai seems achievable. But Pakistan bottled the game, as they lost half of their team in powerplay on a score of just 28, and eventually bundled out for 56 in 11.4 overs. With this win, New Zealand finished second in Group B, eliminating India from the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
