New Zealand Women's captain Sophie Devine had a forgettable outing, as she was castled by India's young spinner Priya Mishra in the ongoing third ODI between the two sides. Coming at number four, Devine scored nine runs before Mishra cleaned her up with a beauty. 

The incident occurred during the eleventh over of New Zealand Women's innings when Devine was trying to steady the visitors' ship alongside Georgia Plimmer. India Women's captain Harmanpreet Kaur's decision to bring Priya Mishra into the attack paid rich dividends for the hosts, with the promising spinner getting Devine's prized scalp. 

The leg spinner had a solid start to the over, conceding a solitary run off her first three deliveries. After bowling a dot ball to Devine, Priya Mishra bamboozled her with a beauty, shattering her off stump. 


From over the wicket, the rookie spinner bowled a googly that turned sharply into Devine after pitching outside the off stump. As the White Ferns' skipper tried to play a cut shot, the ball beat her comprehensively, castling her in this process. 

Priya Mishra's Sensational Spell Reduces New Zealand To Five Down

After getting Devine's wicket, Priya Mishra got rid of the well-set Georgia Plimmer, who contributed 39 runs to the total. Dependable batter Maddy Green also couldn't do much, being dismissed for 15 runs in the 24th over. At the time of writing, New Zealand Women were in a spot of bother, placed at 97 for five, with Brooke Halliday and Isabella Gaze batting on 22* and 1*, respectively.
