IND-W vs PAK-W, Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Who said What?

Arundhati Reddy | Player of the Match: “I’ve been bowling with the new ball, and had to be prepared for the powerplay. We had a good powerplay, Renuka too bowled very well. I have worked a lot on my T20 bowling, in all stages of the game. I’ll be working even harder now. It was a day game and it was pretty hot, but we are used to this weather. I just wanted to hit the stumps more, use my variations and slower ones. That has been working for me.”

Smriti Mandhana (standing in for Harmanpreet Kaur): “(On Harman's injury) Too soon to say anything, the medics are looking at it. Hopefully she is alright. As a bowling unit, we were very disciplined and in the field we were good too. We could have done with a better start with the bat, but we will take this. (On net run-rate) We were thinking about it but me and Shafali weren't able to time it well. So we didn't want to get to a place where we were chasing the game, but NRR is surely in our heads. This game will give us some momentum and hopefully we can keep going in this tournament.”

Fatima Sana | Pakistan Women captain: “Weren't up to the mark with batting. We were at least 10-15 runs short. Hopefully, next match we can do well. I enjoyed playing against the Indians, enjoyed my time here.”
