First World Cup victory 'extremely pleasant': Sophie Devine

Guwahati, October 10 (IANS). The victory against Bangladesh at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is the first win of New Zealand in the Women’s World Championships 2025. New Zealand captain Sophie Devine called it “very pleasant”. After the match, Devine said: “It’s very nice for this team to win. The conditions were difficult for Brooke and me with the bat, but we accepted that it would not be easy, and the bowlers did the rest.” Devine said: “His turn was a test of patience in itself. My sugar level went a little low. It was another challenge in already difficult circumstances. It is an integral part of playing at this level. Mayer showed what we were missing with the ball. Taking into account the weather and the running rate, every point is worth performing in the future. Divine played a 63 -run turn in 85 balls. In addition to him, Halliday scored 69 runs. Thanks to the semi-finals of both, New Zealand scored 227 runs for 9 wickets and for 127 for All Out Bangladesh, they won the match with a large margin of 100 runs.
