PERTH: New Zealand captain Sophie Devine says her team is comfortable to "fly under the radar" after starting the women's Twenty20 World Cup with a seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka as England were upset in their opening match by South Africa who won by six wickets in Perth on Sunday (Feb 23).

England who are on of the favourites for the title could only manage a meagre 123 runs in 20 overs and that was eaily overcome by South Africa who returned 127 for four and with two balls to spare.
