every player performed well
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur said, ‘It is great to see that everyone is taking every game with such a positive mindset. Every player who got a chance stepped forward and performed well. As captains and as a team, this is exactly what we wanted. To remain unbeaten and deliver performances of this quality consistently. This is what we expected of ourselves and it is great to see everyone fulfilling this vision with confidence.
Credit for victory given to bowlers
On the combination of youth and experience in the team, Harmanpreet Kaur said, ‘Our bowling unit should get special credit because we have worked very hard in it. Young bowlers like Kranti and Nandini took big responsibilities and the way they responded, especially in the power-play, their spells were brilliant. This was something that our bowling coaches and staff were working very closely with him on. Apart from the youngsters, our spin attack is our core strength. Bowlers like Shreyanka and Deepti are consistent match-winners and are always among the highest wicket-takers. Overall, the balance between experience and fresh talent was perfect, and everyone performed well when it mattered.
