Wanted To Go Out On High, But Didn’t Happen, Says Devine After Final ODI Appearance
ODI World Cup: New Zealand captain Sophie Devine admitted she had hoped for a winning farewell in her final ODI appearance, but acknowledged that things didn’t go to plan, as her side lost to England by eight wickets in their last 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup.
On Sunday, Sophie, 36, played her 159th and final ODI at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, where she scored 23 off 35 balls and picked up one wicket. She was given a guard of honour by players and support staff members from both teams after England wrapped up a chase of 169.
"Disappointed, to be honest. Not to make it about myself, I really wanted to go out on a high and today's per wasn't it. Credit to England, it's not the way we wanted our tournament to go, but there are bigger things in life, so we will move on,” said Sophie in the post-match presentation ceremony.
