New Zealand beat West Indies by eight runs in a thrilling contest in Sharjah to reach the final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup.

Having set the West Indies 129 to win, with Georgia Plimmer top-scoring with 33, it was the White Ferns spinners who steered their team to victory.

Eden Carson bagged 3/29, while Melie Kerr showed all of her class with 2/14, including the wicket of the hugely dangerous Deandra Dottin, who struck 33 off 22 to set up a nailbiting finish under the lights.

New Zealand captain Sophie Devine earlier won the toss and decided to bat first, with her side scoring 128-9.

Dottin was the pick of the West Indies' bowlers with figures of 4-22. 

New Zealand will face South Africa in Sunday’s final, meaning there is guaranteed to be a new winner of the tournament.
