Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine have been pillars of New Zealand for nearly two decades. Bates made her ODI debut in 2006 against India at 19, while Devine began a few months later against Australia at just 17. Both players have demonstrated remarkable longevity, consistency, and commitment to the game.
Skipper Sophie Devine reached her own milestone, becoming only the seventh woman to feature in 300 internationals. Devine joined greats such as Harmanpreet Kaur (342), Ellyse Perry (341), Mithali Raj (333), Charlotte Edwards (309), and Danni Wyatt-Hodge (300).
A Little Bit of Embarrassment From Both of Us - Suzie Bates
Speaking ahead of the match, Suzie Bates emphasized that their primary focus remains on performing well and securing a win in the World Cup game. She added that they plan to celebrate their journey together as players and as a team after the match.
“Yeah, there’s probably a little bit of embarrassment from both of us. We just feel that when we celebrate these milestones, it’s just because we’re getting old. But I know after the game, Sophie and I will sit and reminisce on how far we’ve come, not only as players together throughout this career, but as a team."
