Captains' Words:

Alyssa Healy (UP Warriorz captain)

"It wasn't an easy pitch, we didn't found boundary as much as we wanted. We bowled poorly and gave away too many boundaries. We have to find a boundary hitter and the eleven we played without Grace Harris is our strongest side. Mumbai are a class side and we will have to try to be better. No prizes for a good human in cricket as we were unfortunate as Harmanpreet got bowled but the bail didn't come off. I think we are working really hard and trying hard, hopefully the results will come soon."

Harmanpreet Kaur (Mumbai Indians captain)

"Thankfully I didn't say anything more than 160 to chase. Thanks to Nat Sciver as she gave me the opportunity to get myself in. That Saika over was the turning point for us as she gave us breakthroughs. She is leading the bowling department for her. I have trust in her and that's why I brought her back and she picked up two crucial wickets. We (She and Nat Sciver) were calculating very well when they were bowling decently. Calculative decisions are very important in the game and that helped us. We have to think about areas to improve and have to keep doing the good work."
