New Zealand team placed in the semi-final with a 54-run win over Pakistan, while India suffered a group-stage exit. India was eliminated from the Women’s T20 World Cup, while New Zealand secured a spot in the semi-finals with a vital 54-run victory over Pakistan in their final group-stage encounter.

While defending a modest 111-run goal, the bowlers from New Zealand worked together to destroy Pakistan for just 56. With three wickets, Amelia Kerr was the standout bowler for New Zealand. After holding New Zealand to a disappointing score of 110/6, Pakistan gave themselves a chance to make an incredible semi-final appearance.

The Pakistani batsmen had an opportunity to lead their team to the final four following the bowler’s outstanding performance, but the equation was quite complex. In order to pull off an upset, India was also depending on its neighbors, Pakistan.

India only needed to defeat Pakistan to qualify, while Fatima Sana and the company needed to chase down the target in 10.4 overs to advance to the semi-final. But their preparations were derailed when Pakistan was bowled out for just 56 by New Zealand bowlers.

India, among the favorites before the event, had an ugly departure from the T20 World Cup. They ended the tournament with two victories in four games after losing their composure when chasing against Australia and New Zealand.
