Speaking to reporters, Captain Harmanpreet Kaur said “We didn’t play our best cricket. Going forward we know every game is important. We created chances but we were not able to avail those chances. They played better cricket than us, no doubt about that. Feilding we made some mistakes so that is a learning for us going forward. We chased many times 160-170, we were expecting that on the board. While batting, we knew someone had to bat through but we kept losing wickets.”
The Winning Captain Devine, stated “I’m really proud of this group. People have been speaking about our recent results, coming out against a world-class side like India, to produce that performance I’m overwhelmed. We’ve been targeting this game for a long time. To come out and lay a marker is great, but we’ve got a long way to go in the tournament. We’ve had some good starts in the powerplay from Georgia and Suzie.”
