How to watch South Africa vs. New Zealand in Canada: Women’s T20 Cricket World Cup 2024 final TV channel, live stream and start time | Sporting News Canada

The Women’s T20 World Cup will see a new champion for the first time since 2016 as South Africa and New Zealand face off in a much-anticipated final at Dubai International Stadium this Sunday.

The White Ferns have been in superb form this season, dominating teams like India, Pakistan, and the West Indies in their last three outings.

In the second semifinal, New Zealand edged past the 2016 T20 World Cup winners with a thrilling 8-run win, securing their place in the final. They’ll be striving to claim the trophy for the first time in their history.

Meanwhile, South Africa are making their second straight appearance in a World Cup final. After a narrow defeat to Australia in the 2023 final, the Proteas women avenged that loss by knocking out the defending champions in this year’s last-four clash.

With a clinical performance, they dismantled Tahlia McGrath’s side, cruising to an 8-wicket win and booking their spot in yet another championship showdown.
