5:43 PM IST Skipper of UP Warriorz, Meg Lanning, started off by praising her team's bowlers for their excellent effort in pulling the game back and taking it down to the final ball.

She says that she is pleased with her own contribution, getting a few runs and putting something on the board for the team. She expresses her desire to have batted longer but acknowledges the importance of contributing to the team. Regarding Deol's retirement, Lanning explains that it was a deliberate decision to maximize the death overs, as they felt Deol was getting stuck towards the end.
