We gave 15-20 additional runs in bowling. At the same time, when we needed to score fast, we lost wickets. Hetty (Shimron Hetmyer) kept hitting fours and sixes. But I lost my (Sanju Samson) wicket and from here we lost the game. The way Jofra started was good, she took Shubman's wicket. Then we wandered from the planning we had prepared. We want to be a team that wins the game chasing the target, not just batting first. "
