Delhi Capitals vs UP Warriorz Captains' Words:

Alyssa Healy (UP Warriorz Captain)

"That is T20 cricket. We went for 65 runs in the last 5 overs and lost 3 wickets in the powerplay. It was going to go one of two ways, we would have killed for Grace there at the end but Ismail did well. We gave away a few too many in the field. TM (Tahlia McGrath) was alone with the bat and we needed to give her support. We knew we had to come out firing, I was too loose against Jonno (Jonassen) in that over. Fingers crossed we can correct those in a few days time at the CCI."

Meg Lanning (Delhi Capitals Captain)

"Nice start to the tournament. Our batting has been great. I've thoroughly enjoyed batting here in India. So far so good. It's not surprising (200+ scores). Great advert for the game. Hope it continues. It's been very enjoyable so far. Everyone's very friendly. Great set-up here at Delhi Capitals."
