Kaur credits the team for victory: ‘Doing the right things was important’
Reflecting on the victory, Harmanpreet credited the entire team for their collective effort.
“It is a great team effort. Congrats to Delhi for the way they played; it was not easy for us. When you win, you are really happy. We didn’t start well, but being there and doing the right things was important,” she said at the presentation party.
She acknowledged the initial struggles when she came to bat but remained confident in her approach, especially with Sciver-Brunt at the other end.
“It wasn’t easy when I went to bat. I had the belief that if I could rotate the strike, when Nat is there, I don’t need to take too much pressure. She was in great touch and was doing it for the team. We tried to keep it simple and easy; we took calculated risks, and that helped us in the partnership,” she added.
The Mumbai skipper also praised her bowlers, who played a crucial role in restricting Delhi Capitals.
“150 was not a decent total for DC, but in pressure games, it always looks like 180. Credit goes to our bowlers, who gave us breakthroughs in the powerplay. Ismail and, at the other end, Nat–really happy with the way the team bowled today,” she said.
Mumbai’s tactical approach played a key role in their success, with the team emphasizing clear roles for each player.
“We had really good meetings, one-to-one meetings. We knew we have four experienced bowlers, and in T20, four overs are really important. Today, Saika was there; she bowled those crucial three overs, before that Amanjot, and in between, Sanskriti. They knew their roles, and I’m really happy, and I enjoy playing with them,” Harmanpreet explained.
