Bates and Devine's crowning moment in World Cup

With two balls to go, South Africa needed 38 runs to win the Women's T20 World Cup. New Zealand's hands were all-but on the trophy and their legendary captain Sophie Devine looked to the sky in a brave attempt to fight back tears. And when the victory was confirmed, Suzie Bates, her international team-mate since 2006, leapt into her arms in an overload of emotions from joy, to disbelief, to pure ecstasy at a lifelong dream finally being achieved. It was the crowning moment for 35-year-old Devine and Bates, 37, who have made a combined 624 appearances for their beloved White Ferns.
