“Pakistan batted well but at the end of the day we wanted to win the game. Jemimah and Richa batted really well,” said India captain Harmanpreet Kaur in the post-match presentation ceremony. The Indian team was dealt with a severe blow as Smriti Mandhana could not play due to a finger injury. Pooja Vastrakar had to open with Shafali Verma but despite the vice-captain’s absence the Indian women’s team went on to register a win.
“All the players are keen to do well for the team. Whoever is getting an opportunity is pushing themselves. Good sign for us,” said Harmanpreet Kaur. After winning the pressure match against Pakistan the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side will now face West Indies in their next match on Wednesday.

“Every match is important, no matter the opponent, but obviously Pakistan is a big game. The crowd was good. We’ll love to have some time in the nets. We want to work on a few things,” said Harmanpreet Kaur.
Other than Pakistan India have West Indies, England and Ireland in their group. With only two teams from each group making it to the semi-final the win against Pakistan has made the road ahead for Harmanpreet Kaur’s led side much smoother.
