Quotes
Harmanpreet Kaur
Captain of the Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League
“We wanted to chase as a group. And I think even though we didn’t bowl well, we were still able to restrict them to less than 200 runs, which was a good thing. But I think in batting, we were not great in the powerplay. Every game, we are not coming up with a positive mindset in the powerplay. That’s something we really need to work on in the batting powerplay.”
