ICC Women's World Cup: Amy Satterthwaite describes New Zealand's one-wicket loss to England as 'gut-wrenching'
Amy Satterthwaite stated that their defeat against England was "gut-wrenching" after it put them on the edge of being knocked out of their home ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022. In the match, Satterthwaite took over the command from usual captain Sophie Devine after she injured her back while batting and was unable to field. New Zealand bowler Frankie Mackay stepped up and took four wickets for 34 to pull England back into a tight fight. "It is never a nice position to be in when you're relying on other results and I think coming into today, we felt like we still had it in our control. It's pretty gut-wrenching to get that close and not quite get over the line and feel like you're standing on the edge of the cliff, borderline out of the competition," said Amy Satterthwaite.
