Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka Women Captain): "We had a good powerplay but unfortunately we lost 2 wickets, myself included. India bowled according to their plans. The batters always try to play horizontal shots which is not their strength. We have to improve.
We have to play the middle and death overs well. We need to go for boundaries rather than rotating strike. As a bowling unit we struggled to adapt. It's too hard to spin.
We need 150+ runs to defend. This wicket is really good for batting. With the dew coming in, it's not easy to bowl. We need runs to play with."

Harmanpreet Kaur (India Women Captain): "Yeah, really happy with the way we bowled today. The bowlers took the responsibility and restricted them.
Really happy with how everyone in the bowling department took the responsibility. We know what Sneh can do. Deepti has been doing it for us.
Really happy with the way Vaishnavi bowled today. In the last game, we missed some opportunities. But she bowled really well in those crucial overs.
We are working really hard. We keep making those mistakes but happy with today's performance.
We all had a discussion before the game. We have to set some standard. Everyone raising their bar and making life easy for me."

Player of the Match: Shafali Verma
Shafali Verma (Player of the Match): "The ball was holding a bit at the start so I tried to play along the ground and take singles. Before the game Amol sir reminded me the same so thanks to him as well.
It was a good knock. I kept myself calm. I received the ball in my range after 3-4 overs so I played along the ground before that. I am learning from the game everyday.
Acceptance is everything to move forward. I heard it but now it is working for me. I try to improve everyday for the team."

A brilliant outing for the Indian side today at Visakhapatnam once more. They take an important 2-0 lead in the series. The bowlers have done their job well, the top order is in red hot form. All in all good signs for the hosts before the last 3 games. Sri Lanka at the other hand looks a weak unit with both bat and ball and need a lot from its squad to get a miracle come from behind series win.
