In a historic moment for New Zealand cricket, both the men’s and women’s teams achieved remarkable milestones, prompting an ecstatic response from former Black Caps captain Kane Williamson.

Notably, Williamson can join the New Zealand Test squad for the third and final Test against India if he regains full fitness and gets an approval from New Zealand Cricket (NZC).

Historic achievement for the White Ferns and the Black Caps

The New Zealand women’s team, also known as the White Ferns, clinched the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on Sunday (October 20), marking their first title in this format. Their victory came in the final against South Africa, where they demonstrated resilience and skill, ultimately winning by 32 runs. This triumph not only elevates the status of women’s cricket in New Zealand but also serves as a significant milestone for the sport globally.

Simultaneously, the New Zealand men’s team made headlines by securing a historic Test win in India, their first in 36 years. This victory was sealed during the first Test match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where they triumphed by eight wickets. The performance was characterized by standout contributions from players like Rachin Ravindra and Matt Henry.
