IND-W vs NZ-W: Overconfidence Costs New Zealand Captain as Deepti’s Smart Play Shines

Sophie Devine’s Surprising Dismissal

The New Zealand women’s cricket team on the tour of India shined in the opening match. The Kiwi team shocked the Indian fans by bowling out the host Indian team in 44.3 overs. The New Zealand players who came to chase this challenge played cautiously.

But, their team captain Sophie Devine was ridiculously dismissed. Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma is known for her tough game. On the last ball of the twelfth over, Deepti did not allow the captain of the rival team to run. This ball went for no run.

With the over over, Sophie was trying to get to the other end. However, despite knowing that the ball was in Deepti’s hands, she was moving towards the other end. Meanwhile, Deepti gave the ball to India’s wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia and she did not miss a chance to run out Sophie.
