Quotes

“My focus is on the processes. If I waver from the process and focus on the result, then I am doing something wrong. If I am getting out by following the process, it is fair enough because no one can always score. I enjoy batting at the top of the order as it allows me time to settle.”
Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia on her kind within the WPL

“To leave a batter out who had performed for us in the game before, I am not sure that was the right call. We have only had two players in the tournament who have made a half-century, and Dunks played one of the best opening innings I have seen in quite some time. We need form players playing most innings and most balls in the competition.”
Gujarat Giants head coach Rachael Haynes on the decision to go away out Sophia Dunkley of their earlier match
