New Zealand Women’s cricket team is preparing for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the UAE. Skipper Sophie Devine has stated that adapting to the hot conditions will be important. The team is focusing on how to succeed in the spin-friendly environment, which is different from the conditions in New Zealand.
Specific strategies have been developed to enhance performance. Emphasis has been placed on scoring rates and the use of spin bowling. The players are being encouraged to remain active at the crease, as every run will be crucial in tough conditions. The bowling strategy will focus on accuracy to make it difficult for the opposition to score.
Devine expressed confidence in facing strong teams like India and Australia in their group. She believes that playing against such opponents will bring out the best in her team. The campaign will begin against India on October 4 in Dubai, followed by a match against Australia on October 8 in Sharjah. The team is looking forward to these challenges and aims to progress through a tough pool.
