Despite their defeat, Jemimah Rodrigues prasied the Sneh Rana and Niki Prasad for the intense spirit during the game.

Speaking on the post-match presentation, Jemimah Rodrigues said, “Firstly, I have to credit the way Sneh Rana and Niki played – it was outstanding. That partnership was special.”

“They kept fighting till the very end, brought us so close, and gave us real hope. These things happen in cricket, but it would have been nice to cross the line. As long as our batters were out there, we knew there was still hope. We kept believing, and more importantly, they kept believing,” added Jemimah Rodrigues.

“That’s what brought us so close. Outstanding work from both of them, especially Niki. She’s young, but the way she played, combined with Sneh Rana’s experience, was really impressive. They were the ones who kept us going and kept that belief alive. I don’t know what else to say – they were outstanding. Even though we didn’t win today, the way they played was exceptional,” concluded Jemimah Rodrigues.
