That’s a wrap from our side as well. Thank you for joining us from all around the globe. This is Prince Suman signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Saipavan Janaki and Scorer / Analyst Yogesh Kumar. Do join us for the other fixtures across the globe. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.
Heather Knight( England Women Captain): "Yeah, I think Ireland came at us quite hard and was good actually. Spinners brings us back into the game after the powerplay and the pitch which was conducive for the spinners. We have three world-class spinners in our line-up and it is really nice to have different options. Alice made the chase a lot easier for us. We made a little bit of hard work in the end but were happy with two points and on to the next game against India. In T20 cricket you have to take the aggressive option, that is the great mantra we have as a group and we have the depth to go really hard at the top. Thanks"
Laura Delany (Ireland Women Captain): "We are disappointed with the loss but fair play to England. They played us in both innings but there are some positives to take from this game. We have to make sure we put in big partnerships in our next game and that is one area we are going to target. The top three have batted with great intent and the next step is to keep that momentum going. We looking to play Pakistan, it was a competitive series when we played them in November and we take the confidence in the last few days. It is brilliant to have families away from homes, particularly at the World Cup and it is great to have them supporting us."
Alice Capsey (Player of the Match): "Yeah loving and playing for England in the world cup is a dream for everyone. (Plans) It's clear to put pressure on the bowlers at every single opportunity. We are confident and we are enjoying and want to continue the same form in the next couple of games. Jon Lewis suits that and it's been brilliant. ( South Africa) are a little bit different, it was staying a little bit low and holding a little bit, so the slower balls are effective. I had to change my game a little bit but stick to my main mentality."
