The second semi-final of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will see former champions West Indies take on two-time finalists New Zealand. Despite enduring a losing start to their campaign, the West Indies Women pulled off a comeback to move into the tournament’s knockout phase. They had to beat England in their final game to ensure a place in the semi-finals. Their last group match began with Hayley Matthews and Afy Fletcher combining for five wickets to curb England at 141. The second half saw Matthews and Qiana Joseph score half-centuries to seal a six-wicket victory for the West Indies. The 2016 winners will now be looking to reach for the final by beating New Zealand this Friday.
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024’s second semi-final will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 18.
