With that interview, it brings us to an end of this live coverage between India and Pakistan which turned out to be a one-sided win for the Indians. Stay tuned for our extensive coverage of the ICC Women's World Cup and do remember to join me, Sumedh Pande, when India face Sri Lanka in their next game on 5 June, Wednesday. Goodbye folks!
Mithali Raj: "There were some anxious moments for us in the batting period. Sushma's knock was crucial. An off day for the top order but we will look to fire again in the next game. Ekta has always done well with the new ball and has been a useful bowler for India since years. It was crucial to have confidence in ourselves which helped us to win today."
Sana Mir: "This was undoubtedly our best bowling performance against India in ODIs. But the last 20-30 runs proved to be crucial but we could not back it up with a good batting show. We were great in the field and credit goes to Diana Baig. She brings a spark in the team and I'm really proud of her. We played far too many cross batted shots which led to our quick fall of wickets against the spinners."
Ekta Bisht: "The plan was to bowl dot balls and build pressure and it was good to pick up wickets in the first powerplay. We were confident of the total that we posted. I love to bowl with the new ball and I hope the tracks favour us in the future as well."
A convincing win for India as they continue their winning run in the World Cup. The Blues have also made it 10 out of 10 against Pakistan in the one-dayers which make this victory even sweeter. 169 was their lowest score against Pakistan but they did well from the first over itself to put the pressure on their counterparts. Ekta Bisht was the star of the show as she picked up five wickets and along the way, became the Indian bowler with the best figures ever in World Cup cricket.
Pakistan are all out for a meagre 74 runs on the board and they will be distraught after bowling exceptionally well in the first innings. The Greens are almost out of the World Cup.
Mansi Joshi arrives and dismisses the last batter with a peach of a yorker. India win by 95 runs! A big victory in the competition to make it three wins out of three.
