When you lose, it can be negative feelings. But everyone was talking how to win this. In the last two games, we were not able to do what we were trying to do. But we discussed today as to how to go about it. For us, winning the game was important. When we got a good start, we were trying to chase it down inside 15 overs. After losing my wicket, we played a little sensibly. Amelia is always keen to do well for the team. She always wants to do well for the team."RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana said: "We tried to fight. Kka bowled well. One of those days as a fielder when which of the ball goes in the air comes to you. We were below par today. We have a great team. We have a balanced team. Won't say we don't have a great team because we have not done well. We had some amazing players. The first four-five games did not go our way. My personal form wasn't great. We didn't get great starts. Sometimes things do not go as you have planned. We will come back stronger next season. We have found some amazing youngsters in Shreyanka Patil and Kka Ahuja They have been fearless. Was pleasing to see as a skipper. Asha bowled very well too."In the second match, UP Warriorz put on a fighting total of 138/6 thanks to a fighting fifty from all-rounder Tahlia McGrath (58*) and skipper Alyssa Healy (36) knock. Alice Capsey, the 18-year all-rounder from England was the standout bowler with 3/26.Chasing 139, DC started off with a strong 56-run stand between Meg Lanning (39) and Shafali Verma (21).

Credit to Ismail. She got a couple of wickets. Gave us a sniff. I could not hit it off the square. We were looking for a total to bowl at. The wicket was turning and gripping. We would have loved to bat at a faster clip. Hopefully, we will reflect on what went wrong. We will reflect quickly as well. I am excited to be a part of the finals. DY Patil will be chock-a-block."DC skipper Lanning said the team was not at its best."Just wanted the team to win and help the unit. I do not think we were at our best. We were sloppy on the field. Was a reasonable wicket. We got off to a flier and helped us when it started to turn. It seemed it came nicely with the new ball. They bowled a fair bit of spin towards the back end. We got some depth in batting. We have one big game to go. Hopefully, we will nail that. We will rest for a couple of days before the big game."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
