Meg Lanning, Delhi Capitals captain said: “Nice start to the tournament. Our batting has been great. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed batting here in India. So far so good. It’s not surprising (200+ scores). Great advert for the game. Hope it continues. It’s been very enjoyable so far. Everyone’s very friendly. Great set-up here at Delhi Capitals.”

Harmanpreet Kaur said – “I think batting was the same, we bowled better in the first game than today, but we did well to restrict them to a small score. We just backed ourselves to chase, everyone in the team are just happy to do it their way and they’re enjoying themselves. It happens in T20s (on the slower over-rate), you need to give that extra minute to the bowlers.”
