Smriti Mandhana (India Women Vice-Captain): "I think its too soon to say anything, our medical team is working on her so lets see how it goes. (On Harmanpreet Kaur injury)
Well, I think as a bowling unit, we did really well, followed the plans and executed it nicely. As a fielding unit, we have to improve a little bit but happy to get our first win.
(On the NRR) Yeah definitely we did think about it but me and Shafali were unable to time the ball nicely so we tried to be calculative in order to ensure we don't lose too many wickets and put pressure on ourselves, so we wanted to get over the line comfortably.
(On Facing Sri Lanka Women next) Yeah definitely, they are playing really good cricket. For us, this game will get a lot of momentum for us going into the World Cup, so hopefully we keep doing our process right."

Fatima Sana(Pakistan Captain): "We were not up to the mark in batting and that is why we were 10-15 runs short. Hopefully we will do well in the batting order from the next match. I will try to go up in the order.
I'm enjoying my time with these girls. I have enjoyed my time playing against India."

Arundhati Reddy(Player of the Match): "I was prepared for bowling with the new ball in powerplay. Renuka and myself got the going in the initial phase. I have worked harder on my T20 bowling and I've seen that my new ball bowling has got better.
Obviously a day game. It is very humid and hot here but we are very accustomed to this weather as we play a lot of games in these conditions back home. I just tried to stick to the plans and attack the stumps."

The second wicket partnership between, Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues steadied the Innings for India as the pair added 43 runs together. It was Shafali who threw away her wicket against the run of play, allowing Pakistan Women to get back in the game.
Skipper, Fatima Sana got two back to back wickets to bring a late twist in the game but it was her opposite number who came to the rescue for India Women.

Sajana brings up the victory for the Indian side!!! She plays the ball aerially through the left of the mid-off fielder who chases for it but the ball wins the race. A boundary to finish the game. India Women have won it with six balls remaining.
18.5 N Dar to S Sajana
4 FOURRR!! Sajana finishes things off in style, India Women win by 6 wickets! Flighted delivery outside off, overpitched from Nida Dar, Sajana shuffles across her stumps, gets under it and smashes it between the gap of cover and mid-off. The ball races to the fence, the mid-off fielder gives it a chase but fails to cut it back in play.
Sajeevan Sajana comes in to replace her skipper.
A stumping opportunity goes begging!! Muneeba Ali fails to collect the ball cleanly and Harmanpreet fell on the ground losing her balance. Her back leg was just out of the crease and she drags it back on time. Meanwhile physio comes in the ground to monitor the India skipper. She is looking in pain on her neck. She is going out of the ground!
18.4 N Dar to H Kaur
0 Too full outside off, right in the blockhole, Kaur backs away for room, looks to run it down to the third man, misses. Kaur just manages to keep her balance and gets inside her crease. Muneeba Ali fails to gather the ball and allows Kaur to get back in her crease. In the process, she has done some damage to her neck there!
18.3 N Dar to H Kaur
0 Too full around off, Harmanpreet gets deep in her crease, doesnt get under it and clips it to mid wicket.
18.2 N Dar to D Sharma
1 Around the wicket, flighted delivery full at the stumps, Deepti gets down on one knee and sweeps it hard along the ground to deep backward square leg for a single.
