Devine said the team was in good shape after beating Australia in two twenty/20 games.
"We were just looking forward to getting back into it after being dealt to in Australia a little bit," she said.
Australia won all five one-day games against New Zealand in Australia earlier this year.
The White Ferns play a one-day game in Queenstown today and two in Invercargill on Saturday and Sunday.
Devine and the team spent yesterday morning training at the Queenstown Events Centre.
"I've never played here before.
"You couldn't get a better background," she said.
She said the team had come along since its 5-0 "thrashing" against Australia.
"We've learnt a lot.
"It showed a lot about our character to bounce back.
"I think Australia will come at us hard and we need to be on top of our game to keep it going."
She hoped the team would win the Rose Bowl for the first time in 10 years.
Devine is just 20 but has played 34 one-day internationals and 15 twenty/20 internationals.
She was just 17 when she made her debut.
She is a right-arm medium-pace bowler and a right-handed batsman.
Devine grew up in Tawa, Wellington and began playing cricket at 4 years of age.
She has also represented New Zealand in hockey at the Junior World Cup last year.
She is now in the development squad.
"I juggle both.
"I can't pick between them," she said.
Apart from her sporting career, she is studying Sociology at Canterbury University.
"It keeps my brain ticking over which is refreshing after sport," she said.
The White Ferns will play in the Twenty/20 World Cup in the West Indies this year, and have a tour of England in 2011.
