The 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batter represented New Zealand in 103 ODIs, 95 T20 Internationals (T20Is) and one Test and fell just one short of making 200 international appearances. "It's been an incredible experience.

ICC Women's World Cup 2022 hosts New Zealand finished their journey in the tournament on a high as they defeated Pakistan by 71 runs at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday. Despite the win, the White Ferns failed to qualify for the semi-finals and ended with six points that included three wins and four defeats. Pakistan, on the other hand, also ended their World Cup, having won one game and lost six matches. New Zealand are currently ranked sixth while Pakistan occupy the bottom-most spot with just two points.
Suzie Bates compiled her 12th ODI century and became the first New Zealand batter, and fourth overall, to reach 5,000 runs in the format as the hosts beat Pakistan by 71 runs to end an otherwise disappointing Women's World Cup campaign on a positive note on Saturday. After Bates' magnificent century guided New Zealand to 265 for eight, a maiden five-wicket haul from medium pacer Hannah Rowe helped New Zealand register a comfortable victory at the Hagley Oval. Bates hit 126 from just 135 deliveries in the White Ferns' total and that proved too much for Pakistan as Rowe picked up 5/55 to effectively seal the result for New Zealand.
England came out trumps in a thrilling ICC Women's World Cup match against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland on Sunday.

So far, only one team is guaranteed a place in the semi-finals -- unbeaten Australia. England, with their 2nd win in the tournament, climbed to fifth in the Women's World Cup points table while New Zealand dropped a place to sixth.
