South Africa are in their second final in a row and this time they don’t have the mighty Australia in the opposite corner. In the last final, South Africa lost to Australia but they took equal revenge by eliminating Australia in the semifinals this year.
South Africa were not the favorites to reach the final but they broke the delusion by first defeating West Indies by 10 wickets in the tournament and now they are in the finals. They will have their heads up and confident for the match tonight.
New Zealand, on the other hand, entered the tournament with a 10-match losing streak and everyone sidelined them in the top four teams. With a meticulously crafted year-long strategy, Sophie Devine and her team delivered a shocking blow to one of the tournament favorites in their opener.
This victory virtually secured their spot in the knockout stage, where they later exacted revenge on the team that had previously denied them a semifinal berth and they are high on the confidence for the final today.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
In Dubai, chasing teams have emerged victorious in 7 out of 11 matches, with four of those wins coming in the last five games played, all of which were night matches. Both West Indies and South Africa successfully chased targets in their recent games to secure spots in the semifinals and final, respectively.
The surface is expected to be fresh but still, it didn’t seem to be a high-scoring final. Expect a low-scoring but thrilling contest between two quality teams in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
