She opined that they gave their best and fought until the end. She also emphasized how their issues were caused by their lack of consistency.
"I thought we had a good fight to the very end. We created some chances as well. Unfortunately, we didn't get going [with the bat]. We just haven't been consistent enough... just doing it for longer. Obviously, this season hasn't been what we had hoped for. It was disappointing to end the evening with a defeat. Giri performed a fantastic job. She was keeping up to the stumps... a really nice night for her. Hopefully that gives her some confidence. There were few three-over spells there, which is unusual. I'm still thoroughly enjoying my cricket. Trying to get the best out of people,” Meg Lanning said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
