New Zealand vs West Indies Women’s T20 World Cup Preview
What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?
New Zealand Women
Coming into the tournament, the New Zealand Women’s team was shaping up to be one of the best in the world but in more recent times they have hit a bit of a rut.
In fact in 2024, New Zealand had lost 12 of the 13 matches they have played which is shocking for a side which has been a two-time T20 World Cup runner-up.
Their overall record, as a result of this bad form, had also taken a dent and had readd 94-76 on win-loss.
In this competition, however, they did well to rout India Women before easing past Pakistan and Sri Lanka. They might have lost to Australia but that was enough to help them make the semifinals.
West Indies Women
Of the 173 matches played by the West Indies Women before the start of this tournament, they had won 87 and lost 77 of them. A win-loss ratio of 1.12 would have been slightly disappointing for a team that has won the Women’s T20 World Cup before.
In 2024, West Indies Women had played just eight games and have a healthy 6-2 win-loss record and that has now changed to 9-3 following a stunning performance in the group stages of this competition.
They started off with a defeat at the hands of South Africa and while they eased past Bangladesh and Scotland, it looked like they were headed out when they faced the much-fancied England Women in their final league game.
The manner in which they pounded the England bowlers and made the semifinals would have given them a lot of confidence.
All Eyes On
Qiana Joseph had scored only 104 runs from her previous eight innings in this format. Then she made that match-winning 52 against England and is now one of the batters to watch out. For New Zealand Women, Amelia Kerr continues to rule the roost with the ball, bamboozling the opponents with her ability to turn the ball both ways.
