4 New Zealand became only the fourth team to win the Women's T20 World Cup. Australia have won six of the nine editions of the tournament, while England (2009) and West Indies (2016) are the other teams to win the trophy.

3 New Zealand are now only the third women's team to complete the double of winning the World Cup across both the ODI and T20I formats. New Zealand's lone ODI World Cup win came back in 2000. Australia have won seven of the 12 Women's ODI World Cups, while England have won the other four.

10 Consecutive T20I defeats for New Zealand coming into this World Cup. It is the longest losing streak for any team coming into a World Cup that they eventually won (ODI or T20I, by men or women).

Australia's men's team went into the ODI World Cups in 1987 and 2007 on the back of five-match losing streaks in ODIs, while the Australia women's team lost five T20Is in succession ahead of the 2010 T20 World Cup.

158 for 5 New Zealand's total in the final against South Africa. It is the second-highest total in a Women's T20 World Cup final behind Australia's 184 for 4 against India in 2020.

15 Wickets for Amelia Kerr in this World Cup, the most by any player in a single edition of the Women's T20 World Cup. She surpassed Anya Shrubsole (2014) and Megan Schutt (2020), who took 13 wickets each. Nonkululeko Mlaba is next on the list, with 12 wickets in 2024.

1 Kerr became the first woman to score 40-plus runs and take three or more wickets in a T20I knockout match. She is now only the sixth player with 40-plus runs and three-plus wickets in a Women's T20 World Cup game.

35y 49d Sophie Devine's age coming into the final, making her the oldest captain to win a Women's World Cup. Belinda Clark was the previous oldest, at the age of 34 years and 212 days when she won the Women's ODI World Cup title in 2005.

The previous oldest captain to win a Women's T20 World Cup was Meg Lanning, at the age of 30 years and 338 days in 2023. Devine, Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu are the top three oldest players to be part of a Women's T20 World Cup final win.

48 Wickets for New Zealand's bowlers across six matches at this World Cup. These are the most wickets by one team's bowlers in a Women's T20 World Cup, surpassing the 46 taken by Australia in the 2018 edition.

334 Matches played by Bates in international cricket - 163 ODIs and 171 T20Is. She is now the most capped woman in international cricket, surpassing Mithali Raj's tally of 333 appearances.
