NZ knock out Pakistan and India, thereby securing their first-ever semifinal berth in the T20 World Cup eight years ago.

 For six, 110. For India to reach the semi-finals, Pakistan required to win against New Zealand. Pakistan had to chase down the total in less than 11.3 overs; when they do that, they will beat both New Zealand and India. They tried to do that, but were bowled over for just 56—the lowest all-out score in T20 World Cup history.

To deny New Zealand some score, the Pakistani bowling attack was initiated by Nashra Sandhu, who managed to take three wickets. New Zealand, having entered the match on a record ten-match losing skid, emerged for a stunning comeback, spearheaded by Amelia Kerr, who scored three goals herself after Eden Carson's strikes up top.Spurred on by Nashra Sandhu, who took three wickets to deny New Zealand the chance of scoring freely, Pakistan then saw Amelia Kerr bring back three goals after a great turnaround for New Zealand, who entered the competition fresh off a record defeat run of 10 games.

A fours-ful start, Bates and Plimmers.

The decision by New Zealand to bat first seemed to pay off when Suzie Bates drove the very first ball of the match down the ground past mid-off to get to the boundary. Before Plimmer narrowed it in the fourth over at extra cover, Bates and Georgia Plimmer had both enjoyed four runs from Fatima Sana in the previous over. At over five, to deny New Zealand any further climb upwards, Nashra Sandhu led Pakistan's attack taking three wickets, and Amelia from New Zealand had faced a few dot balls more but was still hitting five fours and building up for more.

That indication of what was to come came only when Omaima Sohail was brought on for the last over of the powerplay.

NZ drops goals, Pakistan drops catches

The fifth over of the game, Nida Dar's first over, showed her luck for the day. Against Dar, Bates attempted a reverse lap off the second ball. It was deflected to the wicketkeeper, and Muneeba Ali couldn't hold on. Pakistan wasted five opportunities to score runs off Dar's bowling alone, beginning with that one. Bates pulled Sohail clean to midwicket in the sixth over but Sandhu couldn't hold onto it. Plimmer had just escaped a run-out chance one ball earlier.

Such chances were not taken by Plimmer and Bates. When New Zealand's score reached 41, the former swerved a top edge off Sandhu and headed for safety, where Sana staggered before managing to hold on. Bates struck an in Sandhu's subsequent over.across the neck of long-on. Amelia Kerr was on nought when Sohail managed to cheaply have her caught at the deep midwicket ropes after she had grassed a challenging caught and bowled opportunity.

It was difficult to define boundaries. Sophie Devine attempted to reverse spin the ball with her feet, but to no avail. At 13, she also got a life. In the last three overs, Pakistan dropped five catches. Nonetheless, New Zealand could muster only seven fours, the last two off Brooke Halliday's bat, and were pegged back to a total that looked quite gettable at half-way. Dar, Iqbal, and Sohail each got a wicket, and Sandhu ended with a 3 for 18.The manner Pakistan attacks benefits New Zealand.

Pakistan knew they needed to chase down the 101 runs needed in 12 overs to secure a semi-final spot. When they brought in Aliya Riaz to start the batting with Muneeba, it was obvious what their plans were. Riaz has only ventured outside to start a T20I twice, and that was the first time since 2014. Her time was cut short as she misplayed a cover for offspinner Carson. With the help of a misfield, Muneeba started off well, first skipping down to loft Carson straight back and then dragging Lea Tahuhu through deep backward square leg. Tahuhu, however, managed to get one to seam in, beyond the inside edge, ruining Muneeba's stumps.
And with that, a huge collapse began.
