As New Zealand take to the field against South Africa in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup final at the Dubai International Stadium, seasoned veterans Suzie Bates, Sophie Devine, and Lea Tahuhu—endearingly known as the 'grandmas of the team'—aim to lift their maiden title.

Boasting 402 T20I appearances among them, Bates, Devine, and Tahuhu have continually exceeded expectations throughout the tournament. Their moment of triumph was seen in New Zealand's crucial semi-final victory over West Indies, where they were pivotal both on and off the field.

Bates highlighted their shared journey: "We've been through tough times together, and reaching the final is truly special." As New Zealand aims for victory, Devine, stepping down as captain after the tournament, hopes to cap her tenure with World Cup glory.
