ICC Women's T20 World Cup Points Table 2024
New Zealand stunned Pakistan in their final group match, storming into the Women's T20 World Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2016. Pakistan's batting woes continued as they were skittled out for a paltry 56, their lowest-ever T20 World Cup total. After being put into bat, New Zealand managed a modest 110/6. However, Pakistan needed to chase down the target within 11.3 overs to pip India and New Zealand to a semi-final spot.
Nashra Sandhu's 3-wicket haul restricted New Zealand's scoring, but Amelia Kerr's identical figures (3/18) and Eden Carson's early strikes sealed Pakistan's fate. New Zealand's remarkable turnaround comes after a dismal 10-match losing streak leading up to the tournament.
