On Sunday, New Zealand made history by winning the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 championship. Both the men's and women's T20 World Cup titles were New Zealand's first. In Dubai on Sunday, the White Ferns crushed South Africa by a margin of 32 runs. In their second consecutive final, South Africa put New Zealand into bat. Under pressure, Sophie Devine's team flourished, posting an above-par score of 158/5. The Proteas were later held to 126/9 and were unable to win the championship once more.
However, following a strong start by Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits, South Africa's middle order fell apart. With three wickets apiece from Rosemary Mair and Amelia Kerr, the Proteas lost by 32 runs as the New Zealand Women won their first T20 championship. Amelia Kerr's flawless performance with the ball and 43 off 38 with the bat earned her the title of Player of the Match.
