That's it from all of us for this game. Keep joining us for more cricketing action all around the globe. For now, this is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of Anirudh Modi, Hitesh Peddurwar and scorer Raju Khariya. Until next time, cheers and good night.
Grace Harris (Player of the Match): "One ball at a time. I try not to get much frustrated. As I'm getting older, I feel I'm controlling my emotions well and try to see the ball and hit it.
I'm enjoying my time with UP Warriorz. I'm loving batting in the middle-order and finishing games and I love India.
I bowled too many slot balls tonight. I'm happy with how it is coming off the hand. It's still work in progress but I'm ready for anything and try to do most of it. Will try to bowl better in the next game.
Deepti and I have played together for a couple of times now. The right-hand and left-hand works for us. We complement each other really well and we keep backing our strengths. Hopefully, we will play together more and win games for our side going forward."

Alyssa Healy (UP Warriorz Women Skipper): "Yeah. I mean she (Harris) makes cricket look so easy. I thought we gave away too many runs in the last phase but we were happy to chase that total. 19 overs of spin does the trick for us tonight.
Our middle-order is doing the job for us tonight. The job for me and Kiran is to take down the opposition in the powerplay. We have quality players on the bench waiting to have a go.
We have got RCB here on Monday night. We are looking forward to facing them here. We almost got over the line in the first game and are really looking forward to that game."

Chamari Athapaththu: "Finally, I got the chance to play here. The girls and the support staff help me to play my natural game.
It’s a good wicket to bat on. I tried to execute the plans while bowling and try and bowl dot balls in the powerplay. Felt good while batting. Unfortunately, I failed to continue but Grace Harris played brilliantly and took us home.
I always talk with Grace. She is an amazing cricketer. She told me to play my natural game and she always inspires me. She has a great potential and kept backing me to play the natural game.”

Beth Mooney (Gujarat Giants Women Skipper): “Yeah. It was a good partnership. Phoebe and Ashleigh played some good knocks to take us to that total.
(On new opening partner) It was good. Wolvaardt was playing beautifully and hit some off the middle of the bat. She is a quality player and it was good to see her bat tonight.
We have seen the other teams have the set batters at the back end of the innings. That’s the goal for us. Some of us has to bat till the end and score 60-70 not out to take us to a good total.
We have played a different XI tonight. We have got quality players and we have to back them going forward. Meghna bowled well upfront but it’s about making the right decisions and picking up wickets in the powerplay.”
