Right then, New Zealand Women are back in the Women's T20 World Cup final after a long wait of 14 years. We will have a new champion as well with the White Ferns taking on back-to-back finalists South Africa Women in Dubai on Sunday, 20 October. The Final will begin at 2 pm GMT but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up to that monumental clash. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Sophie Devine, the victorious skipper of New Zealand Women says that it hasn't sunk in yet but it is a privilege to play in a World Cup final. Adds that the last 2-3 overs with the bat probably saved them. Mentions that they thought they would be short but getting to 128 was a good effort. Further adds, if you have Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin on the other end, you have to be on your toes. Says that they just wanted to stick to their plans and bowl good lines and lengths. Credits West Indies Women for the way they have played in this tournament. Ends by saying that the way Dottin came out of her retirement and also the way Hayley led this side was simply incredible.
Hayley Matthews, the captain of West Indies Women says that they bowled really well up front and even when it got away a bit in the end, the bowlers can't be blamed and they would have taken that score any day. Adds that they wanted to stay positive with Qiana Joseph up top but just couldn't get going with the bat. Mentions that the game never really got out of control and Deandra Dottin gave them a big chance as well. Ends by saying that it is disappointing to go out at this stage but she is proud of her team and as a group they have exceeded expectations in general.
Eden Carson is the Player of the Match for her fine showing with the ball. Carson says that she is a bit emotional at the moment but is very proud of the team. Adds that it was hard when Dottin was smashing it, but they came back strongly. Mentions that they had to defend an under par score and their plan was to take early wickets. Ends by saying that they saw how Windies bowled, and she bowled a bit full and then laughs.
The presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, New Zealand Women won the toss and Sophie Devine wanted to put runs on the board in a knockout game. The openers made a steady start and kept their wickets intact in the Powerplay but failed to accelerate in the middle overs. West Indies Women started to get in the game and Deandra Dottin led that charge with four wickets to her name. A couple of handy knocks from Brooke Halliday and then Izzy Gaze took the White Ferns close to the 130 mark. In reply, New Zealand Women dominated proceedings with the ball but spilled too many catches, allowing West Indies Women to crawl back in the game but did manage to close things out nicely.
West Indies Women couldn't quite achieve what they did back in 2016 but boy, didn't they give it their all. Skipper Hayley Matthews led from the front but it just didn't happen for her and her side tonight. The top order failed to fire with the bat but Deandra Dottin once again showed her magic and almost single-handedly pulled off one of the greatest comebacks but she finally ran out of lives, having been dropped a couple of times early in her innings as well. The duo of Afy Fletcher and young Zaida James did take it close but it was a bridge too far in the final over.
Defending 128 runs, New Zealand Women needed wickets in the Powerplay and that is exactly what they got thanks to Eden Carson. After a double breakthrough, the White Ferns piled on the pressure in the middle overs and got in a positive position. However, a few dropped catches almost proved too costly but they recovered and the ground fielding was tidy in general. Melie Kerr was yet again in the mix with that wicket of Deandra Dottin at a crucial juncture and then Sophie Devine kept her faith in the experienced Suzie Bates to defend 14 runs in the final over and she didn't disappoint.
THE KIWI REVENGE IS COMPLETE AND WE WILL HAVE A NEW HOLDER OF THE WOMEN'S T20 WORLD CUP! Nothing short of a fairytale this as New Zealand Women were on a horrible run of 10 losses in a row in T20s leading up to the World Cup and now, somehow they find themselves just one game away from lifting the trophy. Another clinical showing with the ball and they have made optimal use of their resources. Joy on one side with Suzie Bates ecstatic and tears of disappointment on the other side with Hayley Matthews seemingly inconsolable but West Indies Women can hold their head high as they have played their part brilliantly.

Suzie Bates to bowl the final over. What a surprising move by Sophie Devine! Lea Tahuhu had an over up her sleeve but the experienced pacer was smashed for three sixes in her previous over by Deandra Dottin who isn't on the crease anymore. Also, New Zealand Women have received a fielding penalty and will have an extra fielder inside the inner ring. 15 needed off the final over. Let's go...

The ball loops up in the air towards short fine where Fran Jonas crucially holds on to the catch. The Kiwis are celebrating wildly here and why shouldn't they! Dottin falls for a fiery 33 off just 22 balls!

Melie Kerr To Aaliyah Alleyne OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! That is sensational from Maddy Green! Melie Kerr tosses the ball up, full and around off, Aaliyah Alleyne just has to go for it and she decides to take the aerial route. The ball drops late and Alleyne doesn't quite get under it, lofting it right back over the bowler's head. Green, from long off, sprints to her right and dives across to take a beauty of a catch with both hands. Alleyne departs after a sluggish knock.
Just in - The word has come in and it is confirmed that Chinelle Henry will not be able to bat in this game. A big blow as she has been the finisher for this West Indies Women side. Chedean Nation has been named as the concussion sub.

Hayley Matthews decides to step out and go across the line but gets a bit cramped and one hand comes off the handle as she makes the connection.

Oh, just out of reach! Pitched up outside off, Deandra Dottin clears the front leg and looks to go over covers but slices it away well over the cover fielder. Suzie Bates back-tracks a long way and puts in the dive but can't get to it. A single is taken.
Drinks break! Right then, at the halfway mark in the chase, it is New Zealand Women who hold the upper hand and with 81 needed off the final 10 overs, West Indies Women will have to really dig deep as this ground isn't the easiest to hit those big shots. The positive thing for the Windies is the pair of Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin at the crease, both of whom can single-handedly turn the tide. The White Ferns though will know that a couple of wickets here and they will be in control. Also, there is no update on whether Chinelle Henry will come out to bat if needed. Also, Lea Tahuhu to bowl after the break.
