== International centuries ==
In February 2013, in a return to international cricket after an absence of two-and-a-half years, Devine scored her maiden international century, 145 runs from 131 balls, in New Zealand's opening match of the 2013 Women's Cricket World Cup against South Africa. She also combined with Suzie Bates in a 128-run partnership, and followed up with partnerships of 64 with [[Sara McGlashan]] and 102 with [[Nicola Browne]].<ref name="ttoi 2013-02-01">{{cite news |title=Devine's ton helps New Zealand crush South Africa by 150 runs in Women's World Cup |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/icc-womens-world-cup-2013/news/devines-ton-helps-new-zealand-crush-south-africa-by-150-runs-in-womens-world-cup/articleshow/18290744.cms |access-date=2023-04-21 |work=[[The Times of India]] |agency=[[Press Trust of India|PTI]] |date=2013-02-01}}</ref><ref name="lr 2022-03-01">{{cite news |last1=Anderson |first1=Merryn |title=Sophie Devine's terrible first century |url=https://www.newsroom.co.nz/lockerroom/sophie-devines-terrible-first-century |access-date=2023-04-21 |work=LockerRoom |date=1 March 2022 |language=en-AU}}</ref> During the innings, Devine hit 13 fours and six sixes,<ref name="ttoi 2013-02-01"/> although she later said, "I couldn’t find the middle of the bat. I felt really scratchy, like I was never in really good flow."<ref name="lr 2022-03-01"/>

Some five years later, in the course of just 10 matches between October 2017 and July 2018, Devine made her next four ODI centuries, against four different opponents, in four different countries.<ref name="arr wodis">{{cite web |title=All-round records {{!}} Women's One-Day Internationals {{!}} ESPNcricinfo Statsguru {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com – Sophie Devine|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/231740.html?class=9;template=results;type=allround;view=match |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=2023-04-21 }}</ref> She scored no further international centuries until 2020, when she made her maiden T20I ton, against South Africa at home.<ref name="arr wt20is">{{cite web |title=All-round records {{!}} Women's Twenty20 Internationals {{!}} ESPNcricinfo Statsguru {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com – Sophie Devine|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/231740.html?class=10;template=results;type=allround;view=match |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=1 November 2021}}</ref> On that occasion, she shared in another big partnership – of 142 – with Bates, and in another victory for New Zealand. "I know I was a little bit lucky in that knock,” she said later. "I think I got dropped a couple of times, but you sort of ride that."<ref name="lr 2022-03-01"/>

In March 2022, she made a further WODI century, against the West Indies during the [[2022 Women's Cricket World Cup]], also in New Zealand.<ref name="arr wodis"/>

On 30 June 2023, she combined with [[Amelia Kerr]] in a 229-run partnership to lead New Zealand to a 116-run victory in the second of a [[New Zealand women's cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2023#2nd WODI|three-ODI bilateral series against Sri Lanka]] in Sri Lanka. It was the third-highest partnership by New Zealand's women for any wicket in ODIs. Each player scored a century; Devine finished with 137 runs, including 17 fours and two sixes, from just 121 balls.<ref name="espn 2022-06-30">{{cite web |author1=ESPNcricinfo staff |title=Kerr and Devine tons lead New Zealand fightback to draw level |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-women-s-championship-2022-23-2025-1308225/sri-lanka-women-vs-new-zealand-women-2nd-odi-1379758/match-report |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=2023-07-07 |language=en |date=2023-06-30}}</ref><ref name="fc 2023-07-01">{{cite web |last1=Tailor |first1=Yash |title=Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine's 229 Run Partnership helps New Zealand level ODI series 1-1 |url=https://femalecricket.com/new-zealand-tour-of-sri-lanka-2023/32887-amelia-kerr-and-sophie-devines-229-run-partnership-helps-new-zealand-level-odi-series-1-1.html |website=Female Cricket |access-date=2023-07-07 |date=2023-07-01}}</ref>
