Captains' Words:

Alyssa Healy (UPW Captain)

"Really pleased with our bowlers tonight to keep them under 200. Full credit to the spinners as they held their nerve and took wickets at crucial times. It was spin to win tonight. It was a good batting wicket and the spinners did a fine job. Shweta is only a baby and coming into such a competition is difficult. We watched Vaidya in the recent series (against India) and wondered what she was doing at number 7, she played a fine knock and took the pressure off me. We just set the platform early and by the timeout we needed run a ball, we didn't want to drag it too long."

Smriti Mandhana (RCB Captain)

"In the last four games it's been happening. We start well and then lose a cluster of wickets. I take the blame as well. Need to get runs on the board for the bowlers to defend. Overs 7-15 we spoke about getting 7-8 per over. Didn't work out today. We'll have to keep doing it. The last one week has been really tough on the team. Lots to reflect, lots to work on. Should admit last week has been really tough. As international cricketers, we have faced these situations. I have my family around me."
