Both South Africa and New Zealand will have their eyes set on capturing their first Women's T20 World Cup title as they face off in the final. Neither team has previously claimed a Women's ODI World Cup, intensifying the stakes in this eagerly anticipated match.

Under the leadership of Sophie Devine, the White Ferns made it to the finals with an impressive victory against the West Indies. The upcoming final promises to be a fascinating showcase of skill with South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt leading the run-scorers and New Zealand's Amelie Kerr topping the wicket-taking charts.
