Women's T20 WC: New Zealand Beat Pakistan By 54 Runs, End India's Hopes For Semis Spot
T20 World Cup: India crashed out of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup as New Zealand came up with a brilliant all-round performance to defeat Pakistan in their last league match and finish with six points. India was hoping for Pakistan to beat the White Ferns in the match and those hopes had soared when New Zealand were restricted to only 110 after electing to bat first.
But leg-break bowler Amelia Kerr claimed three wickets to top a superb bowling and fielding effort that helped New Zealand thrash Pakistan by 54 runs and sealed their place in the semifinals, ending India's hopes here on Monday.
Chasing a modest total of 111, the Pakistan batters went in with an aggressive approach to shore up their Net Run Rate to overtake India and New Zealand on the quotient and seal a place in the semifinals. But the New Zealand bowlers thwarted Pakistan's efforts as they came back strongly to bowl them out for 56 runs in 11.4 overs, thus sealing their place in the semifinals with six points, finishing behind Australia (8). India finished third in the group with four points.
