The Black Caps inspired young cricketers with their incredible Cricket World Cup run, and now it's the White Ferns' opportunity.
Before the White Ferns' Twenty20 World Cup campaign kicks off overnight, skipper Sophie Devine has pinpointed goals of inspiring a generation of cricketers and making the country proud.
To
do so, they need to overcome a disappointing run at World Cups. Since 2010, the White Ferns have failed to make a final of either the ODI or T20 World Cup, and haven't even reached the semifinals of the last events in each format.
This time, they have the most in-form batter in the world in Devine, but also a tough draw, with two of tournament favourites – Australia and India – in their pool. Only two teams advance from that pool into the semifinals.
