2024 ICC Womens T20 World Cup UAE Oct 3-Oct 20

[NYRB]

West Indies post 118/6 from their 20 overs and it gives them a chance with that last 5 over rally.

South Africa to bat soon.

 

[NYRB]

The outfield in Dubai is significantly faster than the one in Sharjah.

 

[NYRB]

South Africa looked commanding in that powerplay in reply. 43/0 and are in the box seat to qualify out of this group right now.

 

[NYRB]

That was a professional performance from South Africa winning with 10 wickets in hand and 13 balls to spare.

 

[NYRB]

Fair to say NZ do have the wood over India in this format.

[NYRB]

An Indian match and I reckon we are at 55% capacity tonight. A real humdinger in Dubai.

Buckle your seatbelts we are going to be in for a ride tonight.

 

[NYRB]

India haven't come to play and look under pressure with these expectations.

 

[NYRB]

Another dropped catch and its New Zealands powerplay

NZ 50/0 after 6 overs

The weight of expectations is on India here and they are buckling under the pressure.

DJ in Dubai playing a banger

 

[NYRB]

Stand up Bigfooty and dance to the Gangnam style on a Friday night!

 

[NYRB]

Must admit this is as good as Ive seen Georgia Plimmer bat.

 

[NYRB]

Asha is an Arsenal fan I see....

 

[NYRB]

NZ may have missed a trick here, its better Devine faces all the deliveries here. Better to refuse the single.

 

[NYRB]

Devines 50 up in 33 balls

 

[NYRB]

New Zealand post a very decent and all the pressure and expectation on India here.

NZ post 160 and thats the highest score of the tournament.

Over to you India. Craig McMillan will be satisfied with that.
