India with that big win are now second on the table. They have just one game left in the group stage, against Australia in Sharjah. Pressure on New Zealand and Pakistan after India's win tonight. How will those two teams respond? We will find out soon. For now this is it from here. We will be back tomorrow for another game in this World Cup. See you then. Bye for now.

Harmanpreet Kaur | India Women captain: Haanji, sab theek hai. Uphar wale di meher hai, bas chal raha hai (all is good by God's grace, going good) (she was referring to her injured neck). When you play good cricket you always feel well, today all the boxes were ticked, we have been talking about our fielding and we took all our catches and that's something very important to us. We did discuss before the game, if we are batting first what are the targets you need to set. These pitches are really tricky, we can't go and execute. Today lot of things went according to plan. We were thinking at least 160 and we set 170-plus. We are at that stage where we have to think about winning and even about NRR. We have to play good cricket first of all, our bowlers are doing well, they (Australia) are a good side and good to see our bowlers giving us wickets, they are in rhythm. As a captain you feel good when the team does well, it is a day to enjoy our success.

Chamari Athapaththu | Sri Lanka Women captain: We struggled even in the bowling, we dropped a few catches. Batters did not do their job, especially myself. Top-order got out early and it is tough to chase this. We have to go back to the white board and work on things. The first game is really important for this kind of tourament, it is a low-scoring game and as a batting unit we had to chase that target. The players were down after that first game and I try to lift them, it happens in cricket and we have one game left, we have to play our best cricket against New Zealand. Very happy with my bowling unit, how they bowled in the last two games, not today.

Harmanpreet Kaur | Player of the Match: We just wanted to go with the momentum. Smriti and Shafali gave us a very good start. We discussed that, we didn’t want to throw our wickets away. That’s exactly what the openers did and gave us that platform. Jemi and I just wanted to get 7-8 runs an over, and we just went with the flow. It was one of those days where I was in my zone, I was thinking positively and hitting anything that was in my zone. These wickets aren’t very true for batting. You have to keep rotating strike and only when the ball is in the zone can you swing your bat. We were there today for the team, we trusted ourselves and were rotating strike, and that’s what worked for us.
