After the match, Southern Brave captain Anya Shrubsole expressed her delight over the team’s remarkable fightback. She said:

“I'm really proud of the girls. That was a game we probably didn't deserve to win, but we hung on and got over the line.”

When asked if she had given any advice to Southern Brave’s Australian import Amanda-Jade Wellington before her match-winning spell, the skipper stated:

“I just let her go on with it and is a quality legspinner who spins it. The English players are not used to [that style].”
