In the Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup, New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 54 runs at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium last night, becoming the second team from Group A to secure a spot in the semifinals.
After electing to bat, New Zealand posted a total of 110 for 6 in 20 overs. In response, Pakistan was bowled out for just 56 runs in 11.4 overs.
With this result, India has been knocked out of the tournament. India finished third in Group A with four points, winning two matches and losing two. Despite victories over Sri Lanka and Pakistan, India’s 58-run loss to New Zealand and a close defeat to Australia prevented them from advancing. Australia topped the group, winning all four matches, while New Zealand finished second with six points from four games.
