But sophie

T20 World Cup: All-rounder Sophie Devine has said it still hasn’t quite sunk in yet to have finally led New Zealand to glory in the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup. In the tournament held in the UAE last month, New Zealand beat South Africa by 32 runs to lift the title in Dubai.

New Zealand’s trophy win was also the perfect sendoff for Sophie, who was captaining the team in the shortest format for the last time. “It's so incredibly special, I don’t think it has quite sunk in yet.”

“My whole career, that’s always what you’re trying to achieve—World Cup wins, aren’t you. We obviously got very close when I first started out in 2009-2010 alongside ‘Suz’ (Suzie Bates) to make the finals.”
