GGW Team Caption Sneh Rana
Amazing, incredible, superb effort from the girls, very proud of them. Injury is fine, it will get fine. Defending here in CCI is never easy, it is always high scoring, but we lived up to the game. (On Sutherland death bowling) We thought of giving her the overs because she bowls good wide yorkers. I think we have good balance; we have a good combination. This is something we were looking for since the first game, but now that we have got our first points, we are very happy.
RCB Team Cation Smriti Mandhana
In our bowling, we gave 10-15 above par. Really proud of the way the girls batted. It’s a good outfield – one end is really short. That did play on some of our bowlers’ minds. It’s about being hard on ourselves. The way Shreyanka bowled and batted. Also, the way Kanika showed her approach. Those two are the positives from our domestic setup.
