• New Zealand 158-5; South Africa 126-9 – NZ win by 32 runs
• Kerr scored 43 and took three key wickets in final success

New Zealand have secured a maiden T20 World Cup title, defeating South Africa by 32 runs after a mammoth effort from the all-rounder Melie Kerr.

After top-scoring with 43 from 38 balls, Kerr was rendered barely able to walk with cramp brought on by the Dubai heat, but nevertheless snatched the wickets of Laura Wolvaardt and Anneke Bosch at both ends of the 10th over, turning the match on its head.
