Women’s T20 WC: Plimmer, Kerr Star In New Zealand’s Crucial Win Over Sri Lanka
T20 World Cup: On the back of impressive performances from Georgia Plimmer and Amelia Kerr, New Zealand strengthened their chances of qualifying for the semifinals of ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 with an eight-wicket victory over Sri Lanka at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium here on Saturday.
Alongside Leigh Kasperek’s 2-27, Amelia played a crucial role in stifling Sri Lanka in the middle overs through her spell of 2-13 and restricting them to 115/5. In reply, Georgia’s knock of 53 off 44 balls, along with an unbeaten 34 from Amelia, ensured New Zealand completed the chase in the 18th over.
New Zealand, still in third place, will go into their final Group A against Pakistan on Monday knowing exactly what they need to qualify for the semifinals. The result also meant Sri Lanka’s tournament came to an end without a single win.
