Player of the Match: Beth Mooney

Beth Mooney (Player of the Match): "[How is the back?] Yeah, I'm all good. Just precautionary. Just not used to the long bus travel to Southampton.

[On her knock] As an opening batter, your job is to score runs. From my point of view, I did my job pretty well and I had good partnerships with Georgia Voll and Ashleigh Gardner. We were comprehensive today and the bowlers did a great job to restrict them to 120."

Babette de Leede (Netherlands Women Captain): "[How inspired was she playing in her 100th T20I?] It is a massive moment for us. For the team as well as for me personally. To play my 100th T20I against the best team in the world and in a World Cup, it's a big moment for me.

[On playing against Australia] It's a massive opportunity for us. Australia are a quality team. Learn from them and see how they go about their innings. To have the home support here, it was great. They were loud and we enjoyed it."

Sophie Molineux (Australia Women Captain)- " Full credit to the Dutch. They batted really well. It was great to put on a big score. It was about finding the right bowler at the right time as we do have plenty of options. 

We tried really hard but somehow we didn't get the wickets in the middle overs. Its okay and we will look to do better in that aspect in the next game."

Australia Women go to the top of the table after this fantastic win against Netherlands Women while the Dutch continue to search for their first win. They've shown some glimpses of their ability to take on bigger sides but the gulf still remains a big one. Australia meanwhile look unstoppable with three wins on the trot.
