New Zealand defeated South Africa to win their first ever T20 World Cup

Laura Wolvaardt won the toss during the match and invited New Zealand to bat first. Suzie Bates played a steady knock at the top and passed the baton to Amelia Kerr. The young all-rounder played a responsible knock and scored 43 runs off 38 deliveries, steering the team towards a respectable total. Brooke Halliday played a brilliant cameo of 38 runs from 28 deliveries and helped the team post 158/5 at the end of their 20 overs. 

In reply, South Africa made a brilliant start, as Laura Wolvaardt dominated the Kiwi bowlers. However, after the skipper's departure and Amelia Kerr's arrival at the bowling crease, the complexion of the match started to change. South Africa quickly lost a bunch of wickets and began to fall away from the chase. In the end, New Zealand restricted South Africa to 126/9 in 20 overs and won the match by 32 runs to win their first-ever T20 World Cup.
