Following two spectacular knockout matches, the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup has now reached its final stage.

However, this year, the Proteas women managed to defeat the defending champions in the semi-final, seeking redemption for their previous loss. They displayed a dominant performance against Tahila McGrath and her team, securing an 8-wicket victory to secure their spot in the final.
On the other hand, the White Ferns have shown exceptional form this year, defeating teams like India, Pakistan, and the West Indies in their last three matches.

With both South Africa and New Zealand having reached the finals three times collectively, they are both eager to make history by lifting the trophy on Sunday.
