‘Was waiting for this day’ – Deepti Sharma on her spell of 9/39 in the match

We had a couple of days to prepare before the start of this game. All the players took the responsibility and delivered their best. The first 40 minutes were crucial, as a team we were looking to pick wickets. I know I will get opportunities to score centuries in the future, but winning the game was important. They knew their plans and they executed them accordingly,” said the Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
After the game, Deepti Sharma was awarded the player of the match for her spell. In the post-match ceremony, she said, “Feeling very good, was waiting for this day. Feeling very proud as we executed our plans. Happy with the results. I tried to keep calm. We focussed on building partnerships, pleased we could execute it. Was getting a lot of help from the wicket, so tried to bowl in the right areas. Harmanpreet was advising me to bowl in the right areas. Will try to keep doing the same things going forward.”
