In the match against Gujarat Giants, Devine scored her first half-century of WPL 2023, where she scored 66 runs in 45 balls with the help of eight boundaries and two sixes. Although, Royal Challengers Bangalore still could not register their first win of the tournament.

Sophie Devine partner name
Talking about relationship status of Devine, she is unmarried yet. In an interview, Devine had once revealed that she is in a relationship and her partner lives in Perth, Australia. However, she did not reveal the name, and there is no such picture as well available in the public forum. Devine plays for Perth Scorchers in the Women’s Big Bash League.
Royal Challengers Bangalore secured the services of Devine for a price of INR 50 Lakh in the auction. It was quite surprising that Devine got sold at her auction price as an auction war was expected for her.

Devine represents Wellington Women in the New Zealand domestic circuit, Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred, and she has represented Adelaide Strikers and Perth Scorchers in the WBBL.
