The group stage of the Women’s T20 World Cup has concluded, and four teams have advanced to the highly anticipated semi-finals, set to take place on October 17 and 18. As the competition heats up, these teams are now just two games away from lifting the coveted trophy.
Australia to Face South Africa in the First Semi-Final
In the first semi-final, Australia will face off against South Africa at the Dubai International Stadium on October 17. The Australian team is the clear favorite, having won the tournament a record six times out of the eight previous editions. They dominated the group stage, finishing with a perfect record of four wins from four matches, earning them the maximum eight points.
On the other hand, South Africa narrowly secured their spot in the semi-finals. Thanks to their Net Run Rate (NRR) advantage, they managed to edge out England and claim second place in their group. Now, the South African team faces the daunting task of overcoming the formidable Aussies to book a spot in the final.
West Indies and New Zealand Set for a Showdown in the Second Semi-Final
The second semi-final will see West Indies take on New Zealand at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 18. The West Indies clinched the top spot in their group after a thrilling victory against England. Their six-wicket win, combined with their superior Net Run Rate, allowed them to leapfrog both South Africa and England to finish first.
New Zealand, meanwhile, emerged from Group A in second place, having only suffered one defeat, which came against the dominant Australians. Unlike the fierce competition in Group B, New Zealand secured their semi-final spot with relative ease.
