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."
