Georgia Voll said that it was very scratchy to get past the initial period and close the game very nicely. She added that I found a midday, so he wanted to get inside her head. She will not be running with water; she will play. It was nice to get and give a call. Mandhana did not get 100 either, so no advice from me. I thought she had been very disappointing, but it was great to win. We all have quality players working hard, and a few games win.
Hence, Mandhana’s show took RCBW to a great win against Delhi Capitals Women, and it was one of the thriller matches, with a tough fight.
