The highly anticipated final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 is set to take place on Sunday evening at the Dubai International Stadium in the United Arab Emirates. The clash between South Africa and New Zealand marks a pivotal moment for both teams as they vie for their maiden World Cup title in the short format. This match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to etch their names in cricketing history.
South Africa enters the final carrying the weight of recent successes and a determined spirit. Although their last four T20 International clashes against New Zealand have been a mix of wins and losses, they hold a slight advantage, having emerged victorious in their most recent encounter by 11 runs in October of last year. This recent triumph has instilled a sense of confidence within the Proteas Women, who will be looking to build on their momentum.
Furthermore, South Africa's performance in previous ICC Women's T20 World Cup encounters against the White Ferns has been particularly impressive. They have secured victories in two of their last three meetings, including a dominant 65-run victory in Paarl during last year's tournament held on home soil. This dominance against New Zealand in previous World Cup matches adds another layer of anticipation to the upcoming final, as South Africa seeks to continue their winning ways.
