"Great team effort" - MI captain Harmanpreet Kaur after win vs GG in Eliminator of WPL 2025

At the post-match presentation, MI skipper Harmanpreet Kaur applauded her teammates for a collective effort and expressed satisfaction with the victory. She said (via Cricbuzz):

"Great team effort. Really feeling happy today. I will be very honest, before the game I wanted to bat first. Whatever score is on the board, this ground we can chase it. Whatever happened happened for the good. Hayley and Nat played well and happy that I was there and executed well. (on Matthews and Sciver-Brunt) They are great players and they know how to play these kind of WPL games, we don't need to tell them."

She added:

"Really happy with the way they took the responsibility and batted for the team. In bowling-wise we did really well today and we had so many meetings about this and all the bowlers executed well."

MI will lock horns with the Delhi Capitals in the WPL 2025 final on Saturday (March 15) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
