She further says that it was great fun and she hopes to get more opportunities, as it was challenging to play with the pink ball.

She says that she is feeling pretty nice winning the series and sending off Midgey (Alyssa Healy) with a great win.

Adds that he was an outstanding captain and was a pillar of the cricket since a very long time.
