After a couple of magnificent knockout thrillers, the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup has two finalists. South African women (SA-W) are all set to lock horns against New Zealand women (NZ-W) in the ninth final of the tournament's history. This event marks South Africa's second successive final showdown. The side faced Australia in the 2023 World Cup and suffered a defeat in the summit clash. However, the Proteas women thwarted the defending champions in the semi-final this year to exact their revenge. They completely dominated against Tahila McGrath and her women, beating them by 8 wickets to make it to another final.

On the other hand, the White Ferns have been in top form this year, outclassing sides like India, Pakistan, and the West Indies in the last three games. In a second semi-final, the Kiwis claimed a thrilling 8-run win over the 2016 T20 World Cup champions and a place in the final.

After 18 days of thrilling cricket action and exhilarating matches in the UAE, the showpiece event is set to culminate with a thrilling showdown between these two much-deserved sides aiming for their prestigious title. Both South Africa and New Zealand, having made the finals three times between them, will be keen to mark the history by grabbing the trophy on Sunday.

The upcoming final game promises to be an intense affair with a rollercoaster of emotions at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on October 20, Sunday.
