Sophie Devine

EVENT: Women’s T20 Cricket 

Sophie Devine captained the New Zealand Cricket Team to their bronze medal win at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

The Wellington Blaze all-rounder is regarded as one of the most powerful players in world cricket and is an integral member of the New Zealand cricket team in both formats of the game.

In the 2019-20 season, Devine had a blockbuster year with the bat. She smashed her maiden T20I century against South Africa at the Basin Reserve, becoming the first cricketer (male or female) to score five consecutive 50-plus scores in T20 internationals (she finished her run with six 50+ scores.) 

Devine was first selected for the New Zealand cricket team at the age of 17 and has also represented New Zealand in hockey.
