RCB have started off on a great note. They are the defending champions and are playing so well. Most of their bases seem covered as well. But these are early days in the tournament. Other teams will patiently wait for the chinks in their armour. We won't wait more and will log off. Our team of Sagar Chawla, Mukesh and Kumar Abhisekh Das wishes you bye bye!
Renuka Singh Thakur, Player of the Match: I have good memories from this ground. I got the Player of the tournament while playing here. The crowd is really good here as well. I keep working on a lot of things. I have been working on my pace. I want to try out more things. I focus on my body as well. Sometimes I go wide of the crease. And sometimes to get rhythm I bowl from close to the wickets as well.
Smriti Mandhana: The bowlers did a great job. Restricting them to under 150 was a great thing. Wyatt was brilliant in batting. The strategy was to bowl more pace but we took the call depending on the situation of the game. This ground never plays the same twice. The way we started was brilliant. As a team we are proud of our bowlers. Ekta got hit in the first over but came back really well. Me and Danny have batted so many times together. Last game, we were gutted as we couldn't get a good start. We kept going today and the shots came off today.
Wyatt: We said before
Meg Lanning: Not our best night. We got off to a reasonable start. RCB bowled well in the middle phase to peg us back. The batters got in but weren't able to carry on. RCB were too good.
