WPL 2025, Match 5th: MI vs GG: Captains’ Corner
Whatever we talked about in the team meetings, we executed. Really happy everything went according to our plans. The first six overs are very important. Our bowlers did a great job. We picked the right bowlers to bowl (in the first six overs) and that gave us a stable start. (On what they need to do this season, being played across multiple venues) Be more consistent. We have a great team, a balanced side and we need to keep doing the right things again and again.
Harmanpreet Kaur(Mumbai Indians’ Captain) said post-match
We just lost wickets in clumps. We put a lot of onus on the top order to score a bulk of the runs but it wasn’t to be (tonight). Wicket played differently to the other two, but I don’t think we necessarily adjusted fast enough. It seemed to be a little bit faster in the first ten overs. There was a bit of turn when the spinners came on and bowled slower. They bowled well, and we did not adjust fast. (Conversations before the next game) We have a nice, little break. Lots of time to reset. We have been talking about resetting and taking each game as it comes.
