West Indies will be up against New Zealand in the second semi-final of the Women's T20 World Cup. The 2016 champions stunned England in the final group stage game while New Zealand began their campaign by handing a shocker to India. West Indies have the momentum, however, New Zealand are not far and if you compare the two teams player to player, the White Ferns might have an edge given the multiple number of performers for the side in the tournament thus far.
New Zealand batters were sort of in a fix against Pakistan's spinners but their bowlers backed up pretty nicely to roll out the Women in Green. Sharjah has been slow and has gripped and having already played a couple of games at the venue might come in handy for the White Ferns. West Indies have relied a bit on their power-hitting but if they are put in to bat first, they will have to navigate a good score to defend because batting first with the aggressive approach can be tricky.
