Sophie Devine's New Zealand shines in focus with Adaptive cricket at Women's T20 World Cup

"We have been precise and transparent about our game plan and our strategy for success in these conditions. We have carefully assessed our performances, reviewed our past work, and closely observed the playing conditions," Devine stated, according to the ICC.

Devine put an emphasis on the scoring rates to ensure that New Zealand has the upper hand with the bat while restricting those opportunities for the opposition.

"There's been a real focus on spin bowling, which I'm sure everyone is going to focus on, but for us it's about strike rate and scoring shot percentages. With the bat, we're wanting to be really busy at the crease, we know that the conditions might be tough, so every run is going to be valuable. On the flip side, with the ball we want to be as accurate as possible. Staying on stumps and making opposition players play the most difficult shots; this has been a key focus for us," the player said.

Discussing their group, Devine is excited about facing challenging opponents and believes that these contests can bring the best out of her team.

"When you've got India and Australia, as well as Sri Lanka, it's going to be a pretty tough pool to progress through, but we certainly love our chances coming up against those sorts of teams," Devine concluded.

New Zealand will begin their campaign against India on 4 October in Dubai. Their match-up against Australia takes place on 8 October in Sharjah.
