Live IND W Vs AUS W 1st T20: Titas Sadhu named Player of the Match

"This has been a tradition now that whoever wins this award will have to give a party, since I have won 3 awards tonight (chuckles). I have 3 due. It has been a long series for me, I have been sitting out during Test and ODI series. I am happy to capitalize today. I was lucky I got 2 wickets in the second over and it was a good wicket to bowl on. The dew is a big factor here."

Live IND W Vs AUS W 1st T20: India Captain Harmanpreet Kaur

"Fielding is something we are really working hard. today everyone is enjoying their fielding and really happy to see that. Credit goes to our fielding coach, he picked Jemi to slot at backward point and everyone knows their plan in the fielding and we got the results we wanted as well. I just kept telling my bowlers to keep working hard and keep it tight. Credit to our head coach, we were about to pick a third spinner but in the last moment we decided to go with the extra seamer and we backed her (Titas Sadhu) and got the results as well. The way our bowling unit bowled today was superb, we would love to repeat this performance in the next game as well."

Live IND W Vs AUS W 1st T20: Australia Captain Alyssa Healy

"We didn't play very well, we left a lot out there with the bat and we didn't start well with the ball as well. Losing wickets right throughout kind of cost us little bit and we couldn't get any momentum because of that. We want to keep pushing the big totals out there and also keep in mind adapting to the conditions as well. They hit impeccable lengths really early and made it really difficult for us. We have to adjust for that and change a few things tactics wise."

Live IND W Vs AUS W 1st T20: Smriti Mandhana On Win In Series Opener

"The way the ODI series went, we were all very disappointed. We worked on ourselves in the 2 days we had. Really pleased with ourselves, especially after that last game. We analyzed a lot about what went wrong in the last couple of days. We had a good long meeting with all of us. The seamers bowled really well today, Titas was brilliant. She comes from Bengal and Bengal has already given us a legendary cricketer (Jhulan Goswami), don’t want to draw comparisons but she has a lot of clarity, especially for her age. It’s a great thing to have, hope she continues the same way. I remember telling coach (Amol Muzumdar) to not be soft on us during the meeting and to be as harsh as he is on the Mumbai Ranji team."
