"It looked like a reasonable wicket and the outfield was quick too"- DC captain Meg Lanning after win vs RCB in WPL 2024
DC skipper Meg Lanning reflected on the victory during the post-match presentation, saying:
"It looked like a reasonable wicket and the outfield was quick too. There was plenty of runs on offer and it was always about keeping them under check. We kept the momentum going with the bat and the left hand right hand combination worked really well for us. The message to the players is to play to their strengths and play with freedom. "
On handling the pressure while defending the target, she added:
"It's about keeping our calm and we knew that a couple of wickets could change the game. Kappy was great in the middle and we hung in there. If you stick enough for too long, it pays through. Jonassen has some great experience and she was excellent under pressure. She was superb with both the bat and ball."
