New Zealand cricket team clinched their maiden T20 World Cup title by beating South Africa in the final on Sunday. The White Ferns registered an impressive 32-run win over the Proteas to clinch the ninth edition of the tournament after so many years of heartbreaks.

Sophie Devine-led team pulled off an impressive all-round performance throughout the tournament but it was Amelia Kerr's individual brilliance that led them to glory in the final. The young spin all-rounder top-scored with 43 runs and took 3 wickets 24 to clinch the Player of the Match award in the final and also claimed the prestigious Player of the Tournament award. 

Kerr picked 15 wickets in 6 innings, the highest by any player in a single edition of the tournament, and also scored 135 runs to bag the POTT award. South Africa's heartbroken captain Laura Wolvaardt topped the scoring chart with 223 runs in 6 innings, including 33 runs in the final. 

Anneke Bosch registered the highest individual score of the tournament as she smashed 74* off 48 balls against Australia in the first semi-final. West Indies' veteran all-rounder Deandra Dottin hit the most 9 sixes while Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur was the only cricketer to score multiple 50-plus scores in the ninth edition of the tournament.
