Sophie Devine Eyes Adapting To Spin-friendly Conditions As NZ Prepare For T20 World Cup
Historically, the scorching heat and dry pitches in the region have favoured spinners, a sharp contrast from the cloudy, seam-friendly conditions of New Zealand. However, Devine believes her team has worked hard to adjust and is ready for the challenge. “We’ve been specific and clear with how we want to play and what we think is going to work in those conditions,” Devine told ICC. "We reflected on how we played previously and have had a real eye on what the conditions are like."
With a strong focus on spin bowling and effective strike rates, New Zealand are determined to ensure they can score effectively while limiting their opponents' opportunities. “There’s been a real focus on spin bowling, which I’m sure everyone is going to focus on, but for us, it’s about strike rate and scoring shot percentages,” Devine emphasised. “We want to be really busy at the crease. Every run is going to be valuable in these conditions.”
