After the match Titan\u2019s batter Sajni Shah said: \u201cIt was a good pitch. We batted second and won, the ball was not hitting the boundaries though, so we tried to get as many runs as possible. We got a couple of wides, but overall, it was a good game. It feels good to start the league with a win and we hope to keep that energy going for the future matches as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked what the team\u2019s strategy will be going forward, Sajni continued: \u201cWe really have to work on our bowling; I honestly feel we gave away many wides, so will we try, especially in the next few games, to remedy the undoing. We\u2019ll try working on our batting, get a few boundaries; I think there were none in this game, but yes, we keep the same<\/span><\/p>\n

spirit moving forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Most Valuable player, Nisha Kerai on her part said: \u201cUnfortunately, we didn\u2019t do good bowling, it was very hard, but then again, you live to fight another day. We will have to improve on our bowling and fielding, very important for the team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
