"Well we just wanted to play good crucket. We knew crowd is going to play a big role and we stuck together and played well. We wanted to chase because of the dew and knew the wicket would play well later."
She added:
"They all know their roles well. We discussed it beforehand about the matchups and who will come to bowl when. We knew someone inexperienced will bowl the 19th over and credits to Amanjot for the way she bowled and batted."
