Harmanpreet Kaur (India Captain): "I'll be fine. I'm used to these niggles. I know. I still remember what he (WV Raman) said. Don't throw yourself while batting. If I talk about the game, we have improved as a team. We want game time. How many games we keep on playing, we keep improving.
The wicket was a bit tricky and we wanted to keep hanging here. Some of the balls were turning and some were going straight. Especially, when the off spinners were bowling. You had to keep thinking which was going to turn and which isn't going to turn. Lefty and righty combination did well for us while chasing."

Shreyanka Patil (Player of the Match): "Very happy to get the award. First time I am getting a three-fer for India. My friends, family are happy. The experience I got in the WPL and WCPL, it was great. It's a huge experience for me to bowling in tandem with Deepti. She is coming and having a chat with me. Not just on the field but also off the field as we keep conversing about bowling. I enjoyed all the three wickets as it's my work to get the wickets. Thanks!"
Player of the Series: Nat Sciver-Brunt
Nat Sciver-Brunt (Player of the Series): "Yeah. Absolutely. Really happy to perform in the first two games. Had a rest today but a great game of cricket for the fans to enjoy.
It was different to the one we played in the first game. A bit of more turn and grip. There was some consistent bounce on the wicket we played in the first game but the Indian bowlers also bowled well in the last two games.
Just the tempo and which shots I need to bring out at which stage. It's going really well at the moment I guess. Walking out with two wickets down and two runs on the board, it was great to have that partnership in the first game and I always like to contribute to what team needs from me."

Heather Knight (England Women Captain): "I think really good learning, expose some players and rest some players. The crowd was amazing, the wickets fell in between and we did feel the pressure. We bowled well to keep them to 80. Charlie was good with the ball, especially in the powerplay. When she bowls, she eases off the pressure from Sophie and Sarah. It was swinging too much, credits to Renuka and our openers failed to swing the bat.
It was good. Yeah, felt like the best option to win the game. Had we got 140, it would've been really good to win the game. Lots of positives actually. In case of early wickets, I think yeah, different conditions and loved to play here."

That is it from the T20I series. England win the series 2-1 but the hosts gets some positive to move to the red-ball format. The two sides will battle once again in the Test series.
