However, the White Ferns managed to turn around their luck in Dubai on Sunday, as they won their first ever T20 World Cup title. The team with extraordinary performances by Ameila Kerr and Brooke Halliday, beat South Africa in the highly anticipated finals by a substantial 32 runs.

In pursuit of 135, Wolvaardt helped put her team ahead of the game, scoring at a brisk pace with three fours and a six to her name, allowing Anneke Bosch to settle in and launch a stupendous counter-attack.
