Amy Jones (Player of the Match)- "It has been a pretty good day for me. I am happy to contribute for my team. It is a huge honour to represent England and I feel fortunate to perform in this game.
The game was definitely challenging and the credit goes to our bowlers for hitting the right areas. We did well with the bat to put runs on the board. We got a good total on the board. It was a nice feeling to take four catches behind the stumps.
Our bowlers have been terrific so far. The way they bowled in the middle overs was commendable."

Nida Dar (Pakistan Women Captain)- "We started really well in the powerplay with bat and ball but we failed to continue. We had a huge opportunity today but I think we need to do well in the next game.
We had a few lapses in the fielding and that's why lost the game. Bowling is our strength. We rely a lot on our spinners and pacers. Our batters batted really well in the powerplay."

Heather Knight (England Women Captain)- "The scoreboard was not in the favour of us initially but we fought back well. Special mention to Danielle Gibson for her cameo. Our batting has been superb today.
I think we have batters till the lower order and that is one of our strengths. I loved the intent from our batters. I think the wicket changed a lot as the game progressed and our batters did well to clear the 75 meter boundaries.
I loved the way our spinners bowled, they are world class. They sticked to their strength and helped each other. That was nice to see. Amy behind the stumps was unbelievable. She took four catches and was brilliant with the bat too. Lovely performance on the day of her 100th cap!"
