New Zealand have secured their place in the semi finals of the Women's T20 World Cup after thrashing Pakistan by 54-run in Dubai today.

New Zealand's batters had earlier struggled against Pakistan's spin attack, who expertly stifled the run-rate in the middle overs but were let down in the field with eight catches put down.

It is New Zealand's first semi final in either white-ball format since 2016.

They will face the winner of Group B which will be either South Africa, England or West Indies.
