“Look, winning and losing is a part of the game — but we have improved as a team — be it as a bowling unit or batting. We will try to break their winning streak as soon as possible,” said Deepti Sharma. 

“We did well as a bowling unit, the spinners and the pacers to have restricted them. At the same time, the batters did well, their partnerships in between were good. It is not easy to perform so well in your first match which Shreyanka did. Richa played fearless cricket which was enjoyable to watch,” she added.

“(If) I have to speak about my bowling, I have trained a lot. I have increased my bowling sessions and have also bowled in different phases such as with the new ball, in the middle overs, or even how to bowl with the old ball in the death overs. Every team plays to win but some days you can pull it off and some days you are not. We gave it a good fight, took it till the end of the game and now I am focusing on tomorrow’s match,” Deepti concluded.
