Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women Captain)
‘I think we should give credit to our bowlers for the way they bowled. And also not to forget our fielders, who did well to keep the batters under pressure by helping the bowlers. We read the wicket really well and set the field according to it. Yes, that’s what we thought. We weren’t looking at the scorecard. We were targeting every five overs. We were looking to work in sets. And once we won each and every set, I knew that we were in front.’
Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka Women Captain)
“Yes, it’s a tough day as a team. Not a good batting display as a team. I am really upset. The plus points are the tough situations that we came through. The batting has to improve and bowling is fine. There are a couple of youngsters and hope they do well and play in the future and do well. The T20 World Cup is next year and I hope we take the positives and come out stronger.”
Deepti Sharma is the Player of the Tournament!
“Yeah, I am happy with how we played as a unit. We have been performing exceedingly well. We need to focus on small points. We bowled well. We have been working hard as a team. I have been working hard in practise. Overall, have been working hard.”

“Yes definitely I am very happy. In the last few games, I didn’t bowl well. I practiced with my coach and staff and got better. I didn’t try anything, just stick to the basics and got rewards. The whole team supported me a lot and I am happy to get the results. Thank You.”
