Mentions they needed to continue the good work but India is a strong team and they know how to come back strongly. Also says they will try to learn from this. Says they have good openers but they did not work but the middle order did well and that is a positive too.
... TIME FOR THE PRESENTATION ...
Earlier in the day, after electing to bat, India were in trouble at 19 for 3 but Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma put on a 100-run stand and helped teir side to get to a huge total which they have defended quite easily.
The Indian bowlers did well. They though would have wanted to pick more wickets after the start they got but they still did a good job. Rajeshwari Gayakwad was the pick with a two-fer but all their bowlers did well.
Another huge win for India! United Arab Emirates Women will be pleased though they played out the 20 overs. That is what their aim was. The target was a huge one, one which we and UAE themselves probably knew is out of their reach. Things got worse as they lost three wickets in no time. However, Kavisha Egodage and Khushi Sharma showed grit and the two added 50. The aim was to play out 20 overs and they really hung in there. Yes, they would have loved to score at a better rate but for now, they will be pleased they were not bowled out.
