Thatās all from this contest, folks! Stay tuned to our network for more exciting cricketing action from around the world. For now, itās me, Deepak Prakash, signing off on behalf of my colleagues Ajay Pal Singh and Raju Khariya. Cheers!
Deandra Dottin (POTM & Toronto Sixers Women): "Yeah, I mean, itās very different. Itās the first time for the ladies here in Canada, and putting pictures was really brilliant. Itās just about assessing the conditions and figuring out how to adapt from there. The surface is a bit skiddy ā not much turn ā though a few bowlers managed to get some swing up front. Overall, itās been pretty good. I donāt think Iāve lost any form; itās more about being a bit disappointed with the outcome in the Womenās CPL. But itās always nice to play at a new venue, perform, and learn from other players. You get to meet different personalities, share experiences, and also give back in the process. Iām really happy with the girls. They might not have the same level of international experience yet, but Iām more than willing to keep guiding them, helping them improve, and showing them the way forward. Itās a great platform ā not just for them to grow, but for me as well. Learning from different people and understanding their personalities helps me grow as a person too, while allowing me to pass on my knowledge and experience."
Player of the Match: Deandra Dottin
Amanda Jade-Wellington (Vancouver Thunderbirds Women Captain): "Yeah, awesome venue. Really cool to play in front of this awesome crowd, I actually like it. Got to take it back to Australia.
Yeah, I think credit goes for D Dott (Dottin), just the way she batted. Have to work on our lengths."
