<p> After the win, Aussie skipper Meg Lanning said, '(On batting at 5 for the first time) Yeah, a little bit lower than usual but Villani and Mooney did a great job in the Powerplay. No real logic behind the move, we just thought it gave more balance. That's what T20 cricket is about, you need to be flexible. With only four fielders out in the deep now, the scores are only going to get higher. We are all enjoying it. We shall take a bit of rest in the afternoon but tomorrow we're back again for the big game against England. Good thing about T20 tournaments is that momentum can be carried forward.'

<p> After losing the match, Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said: '(On Jhulan's return) Always nice to play with her, she is great with the ball and that's what she showed today. The others also need to show responsibility. When we are playing against a world-class side, we need to set a good target. We were at least 30 runs short. I know there was some moisture in the wicket but Mandhana batted so well but we didn't get anyone else to bat with her. The middle overs wickets did hurt but we were still eyeing a good total. Anuja played well in the end. As I said earlier, we need more responsibility from others.' (Photo Credit-Twitter)
