Thanks for joining us today and it was good fun bringing you the action today. Our team thanks you for being with us for the tournament. Good night from all of us
Harmanpreet - My heartbeat was normal. I was prepared for the game to go down to the wire. The start wasn't on our favour. We knew it was a matter of two wickets. We got that as we stuck to our plans. [On the final ten minutes] Pooja couldn't quite execute what we planned to. The crowd was going ballistic and that also might have played a part. Sophie bowled outstandingly well
Deandra Dottin is the Player of the match and the Player of the tournament - It feels good to be a part of this tournament. You learn from other players in the tournament. It was good for me and we all gel well.
Alana King- I was happy with the way I bowled. Credit to bowlers how we bowled considering the batters came at us in the final five overs. The atmosphere was electric. It was good to see the Indian players in the dressing room. It was good to see new players and experience the Indian conditions.
Priya Punia - We worked hard and there was a lot of effort in the domestic cricket. We had mixed feelings being in the field because the match swung wildly between the teams.
Deepti Sharma, Velocity captain - If we had built a partnership in the middle overs, it wouldn't have come down to the final delivery. Laura [Wolvaardt] batted well and so did Simran. We had the batting strength to win the game the way we played the last two games. We just said, "See the ball, hit the ball" We performed well but we left some runs out in the middle. The bowlers did well to pull it back after the 16th over.
What a brilliant over by Sophie Ecclestone to end the match! She was hit for a six off the first ball and then she started to spear it into the batters. She barely gave them any length to connect their strokes and the pace, being high, made it difficult for the batters
