New Zealand women’s cricket team have done it! The Kiwis have punched their ticket to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup finals against South Africa after beating West Indies by 8 runs in the semi-final 2. WI-W failed to chase down the 129-run target as they suffered a top-order collapse. Dottin, who was the only saviour, departed at a crucial point in the run-chase. This is the first time NZ-W have qualified for the finals of the tournament.
