Defended 132 in the first match and defended 142 today. Great effort from Poonam Yadav once again. Shafali Verma looks a very special player. Congratulations @BCCIWomen #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/j0iQpVjFfg

I am so enjoying watching India's girls play at the women's #ICCT20WorldCup. There are stars being made here but my rock star is Poonam Yadav. Love the leg breaks and love the bindi. She's turned in two match winning performances now

Excellent from @BCCIWomen no @mandhana_smriti and Harman did not get too many and still it was a solid win. Shafali and Jemima were excellent and Veda finished off nicely.
