Kashvee Gautam to Chloe Tryon, FOUR, poor delivery and four. A short of length delivery and sliding down leg, Chloe Tryon gets inside the line and pulls to the vacant fine-leg fence, there was a deep backward square-leg and she had no chance to her right

4

Kashvee Gautam to Chloe Tryon, FOUR, full outside off, in the slot, Chloe Tryon gets forward and lofts with a high-elbow, holds the pose and it flies well wide of mid-off. Breaks the shackles

Chalo, GG W are going to win the match and most probably Rajeshwari will be the player of the match.

Cheers..

So MI V GG will be eliminator

DC & UPW ka toh koi chance hi nahi hai

Ashleigh Gardner | GG-W captain: Yeah, I think we scrapped really well with the bat. I think, you know, Soph kind of showed that we took the momentum from the backend of the innings into our bowling innings, and we knew that if we could try and get to 150, that it was going to be a defendable total. And yeah, our bowlers did the job early and then kind of put the pressure back onto them, and ultimately on a wicket like this, being able to take wickets early to kind of stall the momentum is all I can ask.

(difference in venues from Navi Mumbai to here) It is very different. Yeah, I never would have thought that red soil to black soil was such a stark difference, but, you know, the ball hasn't bounced anywhere near as much. There's certainly not as much pace in the wicket. So I guess as a batting unit, you need to think straight for as long as possible and not, I guess, play the shot that I played across the line. So thinking straight for longer periods and then obviously when the ball is off the stumps, that's when you can go square across it. So I think it's, yeah, obviously the way to go. It's kind of the blueprint. It's a very simple method. And then with the ball, making sure that we are hitting the stumps as, I guess, as often as possible to, I guess, bring in those modes of dismissals if batters do want to go square across.

(what was the talk in the camp before the game?) Yeah, we just spoke about it before the game to really fight, you know, going into these last three games. All the teams that we're playing are on an even playing field, we're all on the same points. So it's almost like restarting our campaign again and knowing that if we play our best cricket, that, you know, we can go all the way. So I guess trying to stay really positive in that. You know, out of the losses, there was plenty of learnings, which is always a really positive thing as well. So I guess as a captain, yeah, we're trying to implement things and just try to do the good things for longer periods of time, whether that's with bat or ball. And even in the field, and I guess when you take your chances, you give yourself the best opportunity to win games of cricket.

(on Rajeshwari) Yeah, she had an impact and I'm obviously so happy for her. She's obviously probably not bowled as many overs as she might have imagined coming into this, but it's really pleasing to see that she got the opportunity today and I guess really grabbed it with both hands. And, you know, I think she was kind of that bowler that almost turned the momentum for us. She took some really key wickets and obviously she's got so much experience as well, so she knows how to bowl in these conditions, which, you know, as a foreign player, to really lean on experience like hers, yeah, is awesome to see.

Rajeshwari Gayakwad | Player of the Match (translated from Hindi): It feels really good. I got a chance to play after a long time, and today I did well too, so I’m very happy. I had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so it feels great.

(what did you differently today?) Nothing was different. I just bowled to my strengths today. And when your support staff backs you, it gives you a lot of confidence. That’s exactly what I did today. They showed a lot of support in me, and that became my biggest strength today. It was much better. And the wicket was also helping, so I bowled accordingly today and was successful.

(which wicket she liked the most?) For me, whenever I plan, I always think about taking the wicket of a key batter, because getting good players out gives a different kind of joy. I wanted that wicket but didn’t get it - Renuka got it. Sorry, not Renuka, Kashvee got it. And I also got Deepti’s wicket. And usually when a lefty comes in, maybe they hesitate to give me the ball, but I actually like bowling to lefties. And I got Deepti’s wicket, so I’m very happy.

(anything new you have learnt recently?) In terms of skill, I’ve focused more on myself and worked more on my strengths. That’s all. I’ve backed myself, and I’m getting success from that.

Congratulations Rajeshwari for getting the POTM award!
