Man of the Match
Jemimah Rodrigues
Commentry
That is it from this game then! The action continues on the 5th of this month as UAE will be taking on Malaysia. That game begins at 1300 IST (0730 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
Jemimah Rodrigues says she just wants to score and that will help the team to get to a good score. Adds she just wanted to pick up momentum and she wanted to play positive cricket. Reckons the wicket is not that easy to bat but she wanted to give herself time and stay in. Informs she enjoys batting with Deepti Sharma and they want to win every game.
Smriti Mandhana says UAE bowled really in the first 6 but Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma batted brilliantly to get them to the 170-run mark. Credits the way Kavisha Egodage and Khushi Sharma batted and it was not easy to get wickets. Credits the way the bowlers bowled as they stuck to a plan.
Chaya Mughal says they started off well with the ball and there are positives to take ahead. Adds they need to improve and they are making note of it and will try to improve. Mentions they needed to continue the good work but India is a strong team and they know how to come back strongly. Also says they will try to learn from this. Says they have good openers but they did not work but the middle order did well and that is a positive too.
... TIME FOR THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier in the day, after electing to bat, India were in trouble at 19 for 3 but Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma put on a 100-run stand and helped teir side to get to a huge total which they have defended quite easily.
The Indian bowlers did well. They though would have wanted to pick more wickets after the start they got but they still did a good job. Rajeshwari Gayakwad was the pick with a two-fer but all their bowlers did well.
Another huge win for India! United Arab Emirates Women will be pleased though they played out the 20 overs. That is what their aim was. The target was a huge one, one which we and UAE themselves probably knew is out of their reach. Things got worse as they lost three wickets in no time. However, Kavisha Egodage and Khushi Sharma showed grit and the two added 50. The aim was to play out 20 overs and they really hung in there. Yes, they would have loved to score at a better rate but for now, they will be pleased they were not bowled out.
