Sophie Devine retired from Women’s ODI cricket on October 26.

New Zealand Women’s cricketer Sophie Devine retired from Women’s ODI cricket on Sunday, October 26, putting an end to a remarkable career that spanned 19 years. Devine had already announced that she would retire from Women’s ODI cricket after conclusion of ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025. She pulled down curtains on her career after leading New Zealand in the tournament, where she failed to deliver and take the team to the semi-finals.

Devine, who will continue to play WT20Is, played her 159th and last ODI against England Women at the Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, in which she scored 23 off 35 balls and picked up one wicket, but couldn’t help her team win as New Zealand lost the encounter by eight wickets.

Devine made her ODI debut in October 2006 in a clash against Australia Women. She ended as one of the best all-rounders to ever play for New Zealand in 50-over cricket. During her 19-year-long career, she represented New Zealand in 159 WODIs, finishing her career as the second-most capped Kiwi player after Suzie Bates (178).

With 4279 runs in the WODIs, Devine finished as the third-highest run-scorer for New Zealand after Suzie Bates (5936) and Amy Satterthwaite (4639). She also finished her WODI career as the second-highest wicket-taker for New Zealand with 111 scalps after pacer Lea Tahuhu (125).

Taking up the ODI captaincy in 2020, Devine led New Zealand to victories in 18 games out of 56 WODIs, captaining the side for the second-most number of matches after Suzie Bates (79). Moreover, she is the only New Zealand player and third overall to achieve the rare double of more than 4000 runs and 100 wickets in WODI cricket. On that note, let’s take a look at her numbers in WODI cricket.
