West Indies vs New Zealand Highlights, Women World Cup 2nd Semi Final: New Zealand beat West Indies by 8 runs, set up summit clash with South Africa

After Dottin's 4-22 restricted the White Ferns to 128-9, the all-rounder clubbed a superb 33 from 22 balls with three sixes as West Indies finished just short on 120-8.

New Zealand will face South Africa in Sunday's final in Dubai.
