Women’s T20 World Cup: New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 8 wickets; stays in contention for spot in semi-finals

New Zealand bounced back from their massive defeat to Australia to remain in the running for a spot in the semi-finals of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup after the White Ferns secured an eight-wicket victory over Chamari Athapaththu’s Sri Lanka at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday, October 12th.

With the victory, New Zealand improved their net run rate from -0.282 to +0.050. Though, India’s net run rate is still better than them, a lot will depend on India’s last group match against Australia.

On the flip side, Sri Lanka entered the competition as the current Asia champions. However, they did not meet the expectations as they ended up in last place in the tournament, losing all four of their matches.

Bowlers, Georgia Plimmer lead New Zealand to win

Winning the toss and opting to bat first, Sri Lanka got off to a cautious start but lost the way in the middle overs as they managed to put up a total of 115/5 in 20 overs.

Chamari Athapaththu, who came into the game after three failures to her name, managed to score a slow and steady 35 runs off 41 balls before Amelia Kerr got her wicket. Kerr carried on her goof form by taking 2 wickets for 13 runs in her 4 overs. Leigh Kasperek also took two important wickets for 27 runs after stepping in for Fan Jonas.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
