Suzie Bates Eyes World Cup Win As New Zealand Kick Off Preparation In Dubai Heat
Veteran New Zealand: Veteran New Zealand batter Suzie Bates is banking on a pre-tournament camp in Dubai to help the White Ferns acclimatise to the hot and humid conditions expected at the upcoming ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, which begins on September 30 in India and Sri Lanka.
New Zealand landed in Dubai earlier this week, where they will also play two unofficial warm-up games against England. For Bates and her teammates, the return to the city brought back fond memories of their maiden ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title last year.
“We have loved coming back here after almost 12 months,” Bates told ICC Digital. “Reminiscing on those last 12 months and that really special time for a lot of this group. There’s a few new faces here now, so we’ve joked about if we win this World Cup, maybe we’ll have to come back to Dubai and celebrate.”
