South Africa v New Zealand in T20 World Cup final - when & how to follow

After 22 games over 16 days, we now have our finalists in the Women's T20 World Cup.

South Africa stunned defending champions Australia by eight wickets to reach the final for the second tournament running, while New Zealand have reached the final for the first time since 2010 after winning a thriller against West Indies by eight runs.

BBC Sport gives you all the key information, including when the match starts, the prize money on offer and how to follow all the action.

When is the Women's T20 World Cup final?

South Africa face New Zealand on Sunday, 20 October at the Dubai International Stadium. Play starts at 15:00 BST.

What is the prize money for the Women's T20 World Cup?

The winners will take home $2.34 million (£1.756m), an increase from $1m in 2023.

The runners-up earn $1.17 million (£878,000).

It is the first time the competition has offered equal prize money to the men's competition.

What are the rules?

Both teams will face 20 overs unless they are bowled out beforehand or the team batting second reaches their target before then.

Each innings will commence with a six-over powerplay where only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle. The powerplay is designed to give the batting team more freedom to score boundaries by using the gaps in the field, as a result of the restrictions.

Teams have two reviews per innings. To request a review, players must make a ‘T’ shape with their hands within 15 seconds of the delivery.

A ‘stop-clock’ rule means the fielding team must start a new over within 60 seconds of the previous one ending and they have to start the final over within 75 minutes or they have to bring an extra fielder within the 30-yard circle.

If a match is tied, a super over will be played to decide who wins (each team will face six balls - highest score wins). If the super over is tied as well, then subsequent super overs will be played to determine the winning team.

If a match is halted due to poor weather conditions or other factors, the DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) method will be used to determine the number of runs the team batting second requires.

There is a reserve day on Monday, 21 October for the final and a minimum of 10-overs-per-side constitutes a match.
