She further added, “We’ve recovered well. We got a good two days of break. I think we are more prepared than any other team because we’ve had three such incidents where we saw a last-ball finish. So, these experiences are just going to help us going into the playoffs.”
When asked about the approach going into the last game of the league stage, the 23-year-old batter said, “We’ve already qualified for the playoffs, but the approach doesn’t change, it stays the same. We have to keep getting better little by little and play good cricket.”
