New Zealand 110 for 6 (Bates 28, Halliday 22, Sandhu 3-18) defeated Pakistan 56 (Sana 21, Kerr 3-14, Carson 2-7) by 54 runs, securing a spot in the semi-finals of the Women's T20 World Cup for the first time since 2016.

New Zealand, batting first, managed 110 for 6, with Nashra Sandhu’s 3 for 18 leading Pakistan’s bowling effort. However, Pakistan collapsed while chasing the target, bowled out for 56, their lowest total in T20 World Cup history. Amelia Kerr’s 3 for 14 and Eden Carson’s early breakthroughs crushed Pakistan’s hopes.

Pakistan needed to chase down the target in 11.3 overs to advance, but a top-order collapse left them 28 for 5 inside the powerplay. Nida Dar and Sana Mir put on a brief resistance, but Pakistan lost their last five wickets for just four runs, falling far short of qualification.
