To the delight of cricket fans across the globe, the Women's T20 World Cup is set to commence next month. 

Meanwhile, New Zealand captain Sophie Devine seems confident about her team's success in the showpiece event. 

Ahead of the World Cup, the stylish batter has clarified that they mean business and will only aim at lifting the trophy. 

Devine, who enjoyed stellar success last year, also reckoned that the White Ferns are well prepared for the event, as they are coming on the back of a busy home summer. 


Here's what Devine stated

"Like every other team that’s here - we are here to win it. We know what it takes to win games of cricket and the style of play that can help us achieve that. It's now up to us to be able to do that game after game under the pressures of a World Cup."

"We’re fortunate that the World Cup is at the back end of our home summer, so we’ve had plenty of cricket recently. We have all been playing in the Super Smash as well as T20 and ODI series against Bangladesh before Christmas, so we feel as prepared as we will ever be."

New Zealand are placed in Group 1 alongside Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. They begin their World Cup campaign against the defending champions Australia in Paarl on February 11.
