During the mid-innings break, Annabel Sutherland reflected on the first innings, saying: (via Cricbuzz):

"We adjusted really well to the conditions, got into our lengths really well and we were able to take wickets all throughout the innings. That's the key here. We could snag a few during the middle and put a hold on their innings which we did really well. She (Jonassen) is such a competitor and a wicket-taker too. So good to have her in our team. We are going to take the game on like we always do."
