Do join us for all the upcoming games from all around the globe. For now, it's me Hitesh Peddurwar signing off along with my co-commentator Ninaad Dixit and scorer/analyst Paras Yadav...Until then stay safe...
Deepti Sharma(Player of the match): "I knew that Sophie is playing so we can hit easily. We were confident that we will take it till the end and take the team over the line. The pitch was slightly better in the second innings. I think the bowling unit did very well today and with the bat, McGrath and Harris played pretty well. We just thought of taking the team over the line and we got succeded today. We were just focusing on the positives rather than on the negatives and we backed each other in the middle."
Alyssa Healy(UP Warriorz Women Skipper): "Credit goes to the girls they did pretty well, hanging in till the end and taking the team over the line was not an easy task. We executed well with the ball. Parshavi bowling in her debut game bowled exceptionally well. Really proud of our spinners. If the wickets are gonna get slow then we have a good chance."
