If the White Ferns were entering 'must-win' territory before their World Cup match against South Africa, they've now stamped their passport and purchased a three-bedroom bungalow there.
Their two-wicket upset loss to the Proteas at Hamilton consigned the hosts to their third loss of the tournament and makes Sundays' date against England a do-or-die affair.
If they survive against the defending champions at Eden Park, they'll still need to beat Pakistan the following Saturday at Christchurch to book their place in the knockout stages of the competition.
"It's pretty simple for us - we win the rest of our games," says White Ferns captain Sophie Devine. "Nothing is different for us.
"There may be a bit more outside noise, more pressure externally, but we certainly know what’s on the line and we don’t need any help reminding us about that."
The Ferns were left to rue a disappointing finish to their innings with the bat, as Devine's superb 93 set a foundation for a formidable total.
But after the skipper departed in the 41st over, the runs stalled and the wickets tumbled. New Zealand lost their final six wickets for just 30 runs, leaving two overs on the board.
Cruising out of the gates, South Africa seemed destined to chase down their target with ease, before Melie Kerr struck twice in consecutive overs to swing the momentum, snaring the key wicket of opener Laura Wolvaardt (67).
When Hannah Rowe dismissed captain Sune Luus (51), the tide looked to have turned, only for Marizanne Kapp to step up with a heroic innings to steer South Africa home in the final over against some wayward death bowling.
"We've played good cricket for 70-80 percent of the time, it's just that final 20 percent," Devine adds. "It's World Cup, the pressure's on.
"We know that with every ball, something's on the line. We were really close again tonight... 10 more runs, we'd have won that game.
"Now we've got to focus on the positives. If we dwell too long on the negatives and what we could have done differently, it's going to be a pretty miserable dressing room."
Amid the disappointment was another exceptional performance from Kerr, who continued to add to her reputation as one of the best all-rounders in the world with a handy 42 in an 81-run stand, before leading the Ferns bowling attack with 3/50.
"[Kerr] drew energy and we know she is a real impact player," says Devine. "She picked up those two wickets and shifted the momentum.
"We just kept crawling back in. Cricket's a funny game and we have seen in this tournament games are going to the wire.
"We spoke about keeping out their strike bowlers and get off to a good start, we did that in their first spell, but disappointed with the way we finished."
They'll need Kerr to remain at her best against the English women, who will be as wounded and desperate for victory as the New Zealanders.
"We have to move forward pretty quickly. We play England on Sunday and it is going to be a cracker of a game.
"They will be hurting as well and it is nice to see so many teams vying for the four spots.
"It's heartbreaking to not get across the line there, but our tournament certainly isn't over yet."
