Richa Ghosh | translated from Hindi: The season was good for me, the ball was going off the bat well and it was good for me as a batter. Whenever I have time, I spend time on my batting. If we lose quick wickets, how I should bat and help the team - that's what I worked on this season. I back my style and then react as to how the ball is behaving from the pitch. I feel good when I stop the ball as a wicket-keeper and I'm enjoying it. There was good bonding in the team and in the camp.
Harmanpreet Kaur | MIW captain: This ground is only about saving the boundaries. The last two overs we gave 40 and that cost us, apart from that we did well in the game. We saw in the last game 180 was chaseable. The way Sajana was batting we had hope she will win the game for us but good to see that other batters also contributed. Outfield is fast and we have to stop boundaries, but some really good plans while we were bowling. (on her wrist) I'm fine. I will be fine. (on Kerr opening) We still have one more day for the next game and we all will sit and think about that. (on the Eliminator) We need to stay calm and stay in the moment. Cricket is a game about winning small moments. We have a great record against them but they are playing well. (on Amanjot) She is someone who is working in three departments. Really happy with the way she is performing and she is a key player for us.
22:59 Local Time, 17:29 GMT, 22:59 IST: Smiles in the RCB camp. They started the season so well with two wins but then lost 5 on the bounce to crash out of the playoffs race so tonight's win will bring a cheer to their camp. Celebrations for sure in the Delhi camp as RCB have helped them to reach the final directly. A chase of 200 was always going to be tough despite a superb batting wicket. The openers did not make much but Sciver-Brunt looked to be in sublime form and till she was there Mumbai always had a chance. But Perry came up with her wicket and RCB closed it out at the end despite some last over entertainment from Sajana. Sneh Rana bowled superbly and she was the one who got the openers. There was worry when she landed badly on her right shoulder but she came back and completed her quota of overs. Perry was required to bowl her full quota and she chipped in so well. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff.
