Netherlands Women did come back well with the ball but India Women managed to cross the 200 run barrier thanks to their batting depth.

She reckons that they are in a really good position as a team and hopefully they continue to play good cricket as the tournament progresses. Kaur ends by praising the two seamers. Says that Kranti Gaud has been good with the new ball, while Nandni Sharma has used her experience of WPL here as well.

5:09 PM IST The captain of Netherlands Women - Babette de Leede says that India batted really well, especially up front, but her team came back well with the ball. Reckons they had a chance on this flat wicket, but failed to capitalize with the bat. On the catching, she says that it could have been better, and also with the ball they could have avoided so many extras. On Caroline de Lange, she says that Caroline bowled well and the opposition just played smart cricket, which they can learn from.

5:08 PM IST POTM - Smriti Mandhana is adjudged the Player of the Match for her brilliant knock of 74 runs. Smriti says that it was a good batting wicket. Adds that she has played a few matches here in Leeds in the Hundred and it is always a good batting wicket and quick outfield, but also credits Netherlands Women for their effort. Mentions that they didn't know much about the Dutch before the game and watched a lot of videos for the preparation but also appreciate the opponents for the way they fielded and bowled. Says it was about sticking to their strength and doing the job for the team. Shares that she didn't middle the ball as she would have liked in her innings and it is still a work in progress, but she wants to keep improving every game.

5:04 PM IST Nearly perfect - India Women have now won two games on the trot by huge margins and seem like a well-oiled unit, but that injury to Shreyanka Patil is something they wouldn't have wanted, especially so early in the tournament. With the ball, the pacers were decent but Nandni Sharma did show some sparks on her World Cup debut, but the spinners were the stars of the show. Sree Charani picked up four wickets and Shafali Verma too contributed with three wickets, who was given an extended spell after that injury to Patil.
