NZ-W Win By 54 Runs | Pakistan vs New Zealand Highlights of ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024: New Zealand Women Qualify For Semifinal, Amelia Kerr Shines With the Ball As Pakistan Women Crumble Under Pressure

Out! Ended in a blink of an eye. New Zealand win by 54 runs as they bowl out Pakistan for just 56 runs. Pakistan Women lost their last four wickets for just one run as batters kept going for the shots. Eden Carson picked two wickets and the most dramatic was Amelia Kerr's last over which saw three dismissals. New Zealand qualify for the semifinal while India are now knocked out. 

Out! Another wicket down and this time it is the veteran Nida Dar. Steps Out to negotiate crafty Amelia Kerr but her ball turns just enough to evade the bat of Nida. Isabella Gaze completed the dismissal comfortably. Nida Dar st Isabella Gaze b Amelia Kerr 9(11). 

Out! Pakistan keep tumbling like a pack of cards. They had a target of chasing the target down in 10.4 overs so they went for it but it is not like that has actually went in their favour. First Lea Tahuhu's direct hit gets Iram Javed and then Rosemary Mair lands a fantastic slower ball to get rid of Sidra Amin. Pakistan in deep trouble now.  I Javed run out (Lea Tahuhu) 3(10) and Sidra Amin b Mair 0(1).

Out! Fran Jonas scalps a wicket in her first ball. Drops its shorter than Sadaf Shamas anticipated and the ball skids through hitting her stumps. Pakistan have struggled since Muneeba Ali's wicket and now this is a big blow. Sadaf Shamas b Jonas 2(3).

Out! Cleaned Up! Crucial wicket for New Zealand. Pakistan started the innings aggressively and Muneeba Ali was playing her shots. Tries to go down the ground and over the top. Lea Tahuhu's ball just dips enough and cleans her stumps up. Muneeba Ali b Lea Tahuhu 15(11).

Out! New Zealand draw first blood. It has been tough today to loft the ball over the ground and Aliya Riaz miscues the ball from Eden Carson attempting a similar shot. Sophie Devine accepts the catch at mid off gladly. Aliya Riaz c Devine b Eden Carson 0(3).

New Zealand have finished with just 110 runs in this crucial Group A match. Pakistan could have restricted New Zealand to a much-lesser score but that was not the case with the fielding being not at all good. Fatima Sana and her team dropped a number of catches and Nida Dar could have easily had four wickets had it not been for those missed chances. The runs seem to be in control but can Pakistan chase it down?

OUT! New Zealand captain Sophie Devine departs with Fatima Sana taking the catch in the deep. New Zealand are losing wickets in a bid to increase the scoring rate. A big wicket here!  Sophie Devine c Fatima Sana b Sadia Iqbal 19(25)

OUT! Nashra Sandhu has struck again, this time dismissing Brooke Halliday! The left-hander came down the crease but missed the ball completely with Muneeba Ali taking out the stumps. Brooke Halliday st Muneeba Ali b Nashra Sandhu 22(24) 

New Zealand are eyeing a big finish here with Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday at the crease. Devine was dropped earlier on and she will look to use all her experience and add atleast 30-40 runs from here on. 

OUT! New Zealand lose another wicket and it is Amelia Kerr who has to depart. She was struggling to find the runs and charged at a delivery from Omaima Sohail but ended up hitting the ball straight to Fatima Sana, who takes her second catch. Amelia Kerr c Fatima Sana b Omaima Sohail 9(17)

OUT! Another wicket for Nashra Sandhu and she has now dismissed both openers. Suzie Bates goes for the big shot but found Nida Dar in the deep.  Suzie Bates c Nida Dar b Nashra Sandhu 28(29)

OUT! Pakistan have their first wicket with Nashra Sandhu dismissing Georgia Plimmer! The right-hander could not judge the lack of pace and hit the ball in the air, which was taken by Fatima Sana. Georgia Plimmer c Fatima Sana b Nashra Sandhu 17(14)

The White Ferns have had a strong start with Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer playing some good shots. However, Pakistan have managed to keep both these players in check and despite the fielding lapses, there have not been a quick flow of runs. 

New Zealand have had a sedate start with Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer scoring 20 off three overs. Pakistan will want to take some wickets upfront or else this line-up can run away with the game in no time. 

Fatima Sana bowls the first over with Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer have had a quiet start, scoring four runs. There was an LBW review against Suzie Bates which was ruled not out due to the ball pitching outside off stump. 

New Zealand Playing XI vs Pakistan: Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine(c), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Isabella Gaze(w), Rosemary Mair, Lea Tahuhu, Eden Carson, Fran Jonas

Pakistan Playing XI vs New Zealand: Muneeba Ali(w), Sidra Amin, Sadaf Shamas, Nida Dar, Omaima Sohail, Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana(c), Iram Javed, Syeda Aroob Shah, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal
