- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 Ramharack gets the breakthrough West Indies were after! This is fuller, straighter and perhaps slightly quicker. Bates, like the previous ball, wants to access the region behind point via the reverse. Makes a complete hash of it and hears the death rattle soon after. Bates has to walk back, and is that the last time she is walking back in T20I cricket for New Zealand?! 48/112.1 stumped by an absolute mile! Fizzed through on a length outside off. Hangs in the air and then drops like a stone on Plimmer, who despite advancing, is not to the pitch of the ball. Swishes at it anyway and the ball breezes through to the keeper, who has little trouble in whipping off the bails. A slightly dodgy celebration, but Fletcher seems to have enjoyed that wicket! 69/311.2 straight to Ramharack, and Dottin is working her magic again! Full outside off. Kerr tries to generate momentum by charging down but cannot get as much under it as she would have wanted. Chips it to mid off, and Ramharack makes no mistake. Kerr throws her head back in disappointment, and West Indies keep plugging away! 65/215.1 Devine bites the dust, and that is a monumental moment in the game! Short, wide and tempting Devine to throw her hands at it. She does so but cannot keep her stroke down. Skews up tamely off the outer half of the bat and Ramharack snares the chance at short third. Not sure Fletcher quite nailed it with her celebratory dance, but she is turning this game in her team's favour! 98/514.4 hot knife through butter, and Dottin is delivering on the big stage, yet again! Zipped into the blockhole on off stump and that slight break seems to have led to a lapse in concentration. Halliday cannot jam her bat down in time and the ball knocks back off stump. Dottin is absolutely pumped; NZ a little pensive! 96/416.1 Campbelle calls early, and the World Boss is dominating the Women's T20 World Cup semi-final! Hard length on off, and this seems to stick in the surface a smidgen. Green, looking to tug it to leg, is too early into the stroke and the ball loops up off the leading edge. Campbelle, with those big mitts, gets under it and gobbles up the chance. NZ faltering; West Indies flying! 102/616.4 huge appeal from Dottin, but the umpire is unmoved! Slower ball on a full length on middle and leg. Mair is all at sea, with respect to picking the variation and seems to play too early. Gets rapped on the pads and while that seemed to be heading down leg, West Indies want to chance their luck with this. Ohhhhh...this looks a lot closer than it first seemed. Impact is on the back leg and there is no bat involved. Three reds on Ball Tracking and Mair is outta here! Dottin has four, and NZ are sinking fast! 104/719.4 goes high up, and taken on the second attempt by Qiana Joseph! Slanted across on a full length on off. Tahuhu has a mighty swipe at it but cuts across it too much. Joseph settles under it at extra cover and very nearly makes a meal of it. To her credit, she keeps her eyes on it all the way and is alert enough to snap up the rebound! 127/819.5 Carson has been run out first ball, but she gets Gaze back on strike! Low full toss just outside leg. Carson has a pop at it but miscues it terribly. The ball bobbles towards the bowler and that is the cue for Gaze to hare down. Carson is happy to sacrifice her wicket, and NZ are nine down! 127/9Extras1 (nb 1)TOTAL128/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.4)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Suzie Bates, 8.2 ov), 2-65 (Amelia Kerr, 11.2 ov), 3-69 (Georgia Plimmer, 12.1 ov), 4-96 (Brooke Halliday, 14.4 ov), 5-98 (Sophie Devine, 15.1 ov), 6-102 (Maddy Green, 16.1 ov), 7-104 (Rosemary Mair, 16.4 ov), 8-127 (Lea Tahuhu, 19.4 ov), 9-127 (Eden Carson, 19.5 ov)
