Mon Oct 14 17:20:22 UTC 2024: ## India’s Women’s T20 World Cup Dream Shattered as New Zealand Crushes Pakistan
**Cape Town, South Africa:** India’s hopes of progressing to the semifinals of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 were dashed on Monday after New Zealand secured a resounding 54-run victory over Pakistan. This result marks a disappointing end to India’s campaign, mirroring the men’s team’s exit from the 2021 T20 World Cup in a similar fashion.
New Zealand, needing a win to advance, opted to bat first and set a target of 110 runs for six wickets. Pakistan’s chase was thwarted by an aggressive strategy that backfired, resulting in their lowest-ever score in a T20 World Cup – a paltry 56 runs.
India finished third in Group A with four points, having suffered defeats to both New Zealand and Pakistan. Australia topped the group with an undefeated record, while New Zealand secured second place with six points from four matches.
