Women’s T20 WC: Captain Sophie Devine’s 57 Not Out Carries New Zealand To 160/4
Captain Sophie Devine: Skipper Sophie Devine took charge in the back-end with an unbeaten 36-ball 57 and carried New Zealand to 160/4 against India in a Group A match of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday. If the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side manages to chase down 161, it will set a new record for the highest successful run chase in the history of the tournament.
After Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer gave a brilliant start through a 67-run partnership, Sophie got New Zealand the strong finish they always looked for by hitting seven boundaries – mixed with sheer power and good placement – at a strike rate of 158.33.
India had a decent time with the ball after New Zealand elected to bat first in cooler conditions, but their fielding shortcomings came to the fore yet again.
