Ashleigh Gardner(Hero of the Match): "It's a fantastic win. The openers did a commendable job and the middle order batters chipped in. Bowlers also did well and it's a comprehensive victory.
I just tried to take the pace off from the deliveries and that was the key as hitting big in this pitch against slow deliveries are not easy one. We also tried to hit the right areas."
