Skipper Shafali Verma expressed that it’s an incredible feeling to win the championship. She thanked the support staff, the BCCI, and the team. The explosive batter also lauded her players for their performance in the tournament. Speaking at the post-match presentation, she said,
“The way all the girls are performing and backing each other, so happy. Incredible feeling. Thanks to the staff, the way they have been backing us everyday and telling us that we are here for the cup and because of them we are here. All thanks to them. The players have been backing me a lot. Thanks to BCCI for giving me this beautiful team and really happy for winning the cup. She (Shweta Sehrawat) has been excellent and has followed all the plans from the staff. Not just her, Archana, Soumya and I can’t really take the names but they all have been incredible. No, definitely not (when asked if this is the only Cup she’s gonna pick up this season in South Africa).”
