12:47 PM IST The captain of Netherlands Women - Babette de Leede says the bowlers were excellent and did a really good job of restricting Pakistan to 126. She admits it was frustrating with the bat. Mentions that playing against some of the best teams in the world is crucial for the side's development and provides invaluable experience. Babette describes their maiden Women's T20 World Cup campaign as an incredible experience, says they will take plenty away from it, and believes this is only the beginning for them. She points out that only a couple of players in the squad are professional cricketers and, considering that, says she is immensely proud of what the team has achieved.

12:46 PM IST The skipper of Pakistan Women - Fatima Sana says she is really proud of her team and credits each and every player for the way they turned up for this game. She singles out Ayesha Zafar for praise, calling her a senior player who knows how to take responsibility and saying she did that really well today. She also has kind words for Gull Feroza, saying she batted brilliantly. On her own contribution with the ball, she says as an all-rounder, she tries to give her best and hopes it goes in the team's favour. About their struggles while batting, she is honest, saying there is plenty to work on and there will be a lot of discussions once they get back home. She is confident they will put in the work and come back as a stronger unit.

12:45 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Gull Feroza takes home the award for her unbeaten knock of 63 runs from 52 balls. Feroza is all smiles, and she says it was an important knock not only for her but also for her team. When asked about the pitch, she says the pitch was a little tricky, and the plan was to stay in and rotate the strike. When wickets fell, she says they had to adjust their approach on the go, but they made the most of the bad balls they received. On the mindset coming into the game, she says the goal was simple - to win and finish the tournament on a good note, and she feels this victory means a great deal to the group. She signs off with a warm message to the fans, thanking them for coming out and backing Pakistan throughout the tournament.

12:43 PM IST More action to come - Up next in Bristol is a high-stakes clash between West Indies and Ireland, with the first ball scheduled for 1.30 pm GMT. A Windies win will seal their place in the semifinals and shut the door on both Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Those two sides, therefore, will be hoping Ireland can pull off an upset. Our build-up is already up and running, so switch tabs and join us there. Cheers!

12:41 PM IST Set up, but not cashed in - Earlier, after being asked to bat first, Pakistan got the better of the middle phase of the innings, but the finish left much to be desired. The 79-run stand between Gull Feroza and Ayesha Zafar laid a decent platform to kick on, but once the Dutch broke that partnership, they burst through with regular wickets and shut the door on any late flourish.

12:36 PM IST Time for a chat with the captains...
