New Zealand and South Africa in Historic T20 Final

The Women's T20 World Cup final in Dubai will see a first-time champion as New Zealand faces South Africa, marking the first time the final does not feature Australia, England, or India. New Zealand, led by Sophie Devine, reached the final for the first time since 2010 after defeating the West Indies in the semi-final. South Africa, led by Laura Wolvaardt, avenged their previous year's loss by defeating defending champions Australia in the semi-final. Both teams have shown remarkable resilience, with New Zealand overcoming a poor start to the tournament and South Africa demonstrating strong batting performances. The final is set to expand the realms of women's cricket beyond the dominance of traditional powerhouses and will be held at the Dubai International Stadium, with significant anticipation for the crowning of a new champion.
