Here’s How New Zealand Women Defended Their Total Against South Africa Women<\/span><\/h2>\n

In their defence of 158, things were not looking bright, as the most in-form openeing duo of the tournament (Laura Woolvardt and Tazmin Britz) were off to a stunning start but tables turned in favour of the White Ferns after the powerplay, as they scalped Tazmin Britz in the 7th over.<\/p>\n

The pressure of dot balls started mounting pressure on Laura Woolvardt and it finally took toll of her, as she handed a soft dismissal off Amelia Kerr’s bowling by getting caught at the covers by Suzie Bates.<\/p>\n

In no time, South Africa Women were restricted from 51\/0 to 97\/6 as New Zealand Women bowlers maintained their calm and composure throughtout the second innings.<\/p>\n

Apart from skipper Laura Woolvardt, no other player managed to touch the 20-run mark, and even their semi-final hero (Anneke Bosch) failed to deliver on the grandest stage, as she departed for 9 off 13.<\/p>\n

South Africa Women could only manage 126\/9 at the end of their 20 overs, and Amelia Kerr was the star performer with both, bat and ball.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, feeling unbelievable to be honest. Coming into the tournament, all the odds were against us. To emerge victorious is just unbelievable. The batters put a fantastic total for us to defend. It was great to pull things back in the overs 6-10. It was a tough period in the last 18 months. We kept working hard and kept backing each other throughout this period. It’s amazing. To have them lead the side is just great. Couldn’t be more prouder for the older girls,” said Rosemary Mair during an on-field interview after winning the Women’s T20 World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
