Womens T20 World Cup Live: West Indies vs New Zealand Semi Final Live | WI W vs NZ W Live Commentary

Both sides entered the competition with few backing them to advance beyond the first round. Against the odds they've quieted early skepticism by toppling the heavyweights in their groups and now face a crucial showdown to earn a spot in the final. For New Zealand this is their first semifinal since making the last four in 2016 while West Indies are in a semifinal for the first time since 2018. New Zealand have never entered a final since finishing runners-up in the first two editions in 2009 and 2010. West Indies have never made the final barring the title victory in 2016.

There is some history between these two teams as well with West Indies' 2016 championship run including a semifinal victory against New Zealand. The White Ferns will be keen to reverse the result of that encounter and set things up for a memorable farewell for their senior players. Meanwhile West Indies have a few seniors too who the team will hope to bid farewell to on a winning note starting with this semifinal clash. New Zealand brought out their 'A' game in their tournament opener against India replete with tactics match-ups and fool-proof plans made more than a year ago.

In a group of death beating one of the top teams - India or Australia - was of utmost importance and New Zealand started on the right note. Despite a reversal against Australia they regrouped quickly to defeat Sri Lanka and won a must-win game against Pakistan to enter the last-four stage. West Indies on the other hand did not start the tournament well losing by 10 wickets to South Africa in their first match. Pretty much written off at that stage.

West Indies bounced back with a hat-trick of victories. First Scotland and then Bangladesh the Caribbean team breezed past them before their vital clash against England who they hadn't defeated in T20Is for 13 straight games since 2019. But West Indies came with the belief "a lot of hearts and a lot of fights" to set foot in the next round. New Zealand have been well-served by collective contributions. Georgia Plimmer and Suzie Bates at the top have been providing good starts while the likes of Amelia Kerr Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday have provided the finishing touches in their batting.

New Zealand have been on the mark with the ball again with good contributions from all their bowlers. They will be determined to maintain this momentum and propel themselves further in the tournament. For West Indies they've had different people putting their hands up for the team's cause. Stafanie Taylor Shemaine Campbelle and Deandra Dottin have contributed well while skipper Hayley Matthews after failing in the first two matches.

Has regained form and come up with an important half-century against England. But it was Qiana Joseph's exhilarating fifty against England that came as a bolt out of the blue as the 23-year old proved she could handle the pressure at the top despite limited experience and being moved around the batting order. Afy Fletcher has led West Indies' bowling effort with the others supporting her well. Like New Zealand West Indies also have a well-balanced side which will be looking to go the distance.
