In the final, New Zealand, batting first, put 158 runs on the board. In reply, the Amelia Kerr-led side restricted South Africa to 126 runs. Skipper Kerr won the player of the match award as she took a three-wicket haul and also scored 43 runs with the bat.

In the latest events, ICC has revealed the prize money for the tournament, and it is worth noting that the White Ferns have been USD 2.34 million (Rs 19.6 crore). Further, the ICC increased the prize money by 134% for the winners from the last edition.  South Africa were also awarded a cash prize of USD 1.17 million (Rs 9.8 crore). 

India To Get 2.25 Crores 

It is to be noted that even India, who crashed out of the tournament in the group stage will not go empty-handed and are likely to finish at No 6 in the tournament's team ranking.
