Gaby Lewis (Ireland Women Captain): "Yeah, you can say that. But lots of positives to take. We scored more than last game so that's a good start.
Georgina with the ball and Coulter Reilly with the bat were amazing. Hopefully, they will keep on putting on these sort of performances throughout the year.

Smriti Mandhana (India Women Captain): "Yeah, definitely. We won the toss and chose to bat. We put on a clinical. Jemimah, Pratika and Harleen were good to get us to that total. I am happy with the efforts we put in the field.
I think it is a new partnership for both of us. She (Pratika Rawal) has a really mature head on her shoulders. Looking to stitch a partnership which is great. Really happy to have her on the other hand. Singles and doubles have contributed a lot and benefitted both of us.
I think we all have a massive role. Knowing this is a World Cup year. They have been bowling a lot in domestic cricket. It is important to give them an idea of which variation to use at what time. They have all the arsenal, slower balls, bouncers. I am there if they need any help.

Jemimah Rodrigues (POTM): "Honestly, I am relieved. I am used to score hundreds and double hundreds in domestic cricket. It was bothering me a lot. The role is different here at number 5. Sometimes you don't get a lot of balls to face. The other thing was, I have played a lot of T20, I had to get back to my under 19 days to get an idea of how to play.
It was a little difficult for me, I felt I have not played enough matches. It took me a while, I had to work on being patient in the nets.
I think, Harleen and I had just one conversation that we had to be there till the 40th over. She gave me a lot of time when I was going slow, she made up for me. In between, I started going. That is how partnerships work."

That's a wrap from our coverage of this 2nd ODI between India Women and Ireland Women. India were just too good for the Irish and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in this three-match series by taking the 2nd ODI by 116 runs. The 3rd and final ODI will be played at the same venue on Wednesday.
