New Zealand's Suzie Bates Becomes 1st Woman To Achieve This Big T20 World Cup Milestone
Suzie Bates led a return to form by New Zealand's batters as they scored 189 for three in their Women's T20 World Cup match against Bangladesh at Newlands in Cape Town on Friday. Bates hit 81 not out and became the first woman from any country to reach 1000 runs in T20 World Cups. It was a dramatic turnaround for the White Ferns who notched the highest total of the tournament after being bowled out for the two lowest in their first two matches - 76 against Australia and 67 against South Africa.
