The celebrations will go on long into the night and this has been a magnificent performance. They face South Africa in the final on October 20! West Indies can hold their heads high and be proud of that performance. Eden Carson was once again superb, picking up three wickets and so was Amelia Kerr, who has established a lead at the top of the wicket-taker's charts. We will have a new ICC Women's T20 World Cup winner this time. 

OUT! Suzie Bates has struck and she has dismissed Zaida James! New Zealand possibly three balls away from making the final! What a game this has been! Zaida James b Suzie Bates 14(8)

OUT! Fran Jonas has dismissed Chedean Nation as she went for a massive slog and missed the ball completely! New Zealand are inching close to a spot in the final! Chedean Nation had come in as concussion replacement for Chinelle Henry. Chedean Nation b Fran Jonas 0(4)

OUT! Amelia Kerr has done it! She has dismissed Deandra Dottin and New Zealand believe again! The tournament's leading wicket-taker got the big wicket with Deandra Dottin attempting a big shot with Fran Jonas taking the catch. A massive moment in this game! Deandra Dottin is absolutely gutted! Deandra Dottin c Fran Jonas b Amelia Kerr 33(22) 

Deandra Dottin is turning it on here! The experienced right-hander has struck three sixes in the 16th over bowled by Lea Tahuhu and West Indies are right back in this match. She was dropped twice and now, is making the White Ferns pay! 

OUT! Another wicket and West Indies' run chase seem to be falling apart. Aaliyah Alleyne went for a big shot and it took a sensational catch from Maddy Green to dismiss her. The pressure piles on the West Indies now. Aaliyah Alleyne c Maddy Green b Amelia Kerr 4(11)

New Zealand are tightening the screws here with the bowlers putting up a good show, not allowing the West Indies batters free their arms and play the big shots. For West Indies, the key to this run chase is Deandra Dottin. 

OUT! New Zealand have a big wicket and it is that of Hayley Matthews. The West Indies captain miscued a big shot and Amelia Kerr does not make any mistake in taking a simple catch. New Zealand making run-scoring very difficult here. Hayley Matthews c Amelia Kerr b Lea Tahuhu 15(21) 

We are in the halfway mark in this run chase and for West Indies, Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin are out in the middle. These two players would be key for West Indies if they are to get over the line in this semifinal. New Zealand have bowled well but now need to take some more wickets to pile more pressure on the White Ferns. 81 runs needed off 60 balls now. 

OUT! Eden Carson again for New Zealand and she has dismissed Stafanie Taylor! The right-hander's stumps were disturbed after she missed a shot and New Zealand would be delighted with this wicket. This match is becoming more and more interesting with every passing over! Stafanie Taylor b Eden Carson 13(20)
