Pacer Renuka Singh said India have been playing consistent cricket in the Women’s Asia Cup so far and would look to continue in the same vein in the final to lift the trophy on Sunday.

India outclassed a hapless Bangladesh by 10 wickets in the first semifinal here on Friday, and player of the match Renuka Singh Thakur contributed to the victory through an impressive spell (4-1-10-3).

“We just want to play good, consistent cricket as we have been doing in the tournament so far. Hopefully, we will be able to win the Asia Cup,” Renuka said at the post-match press meet.

In the title clash, India will meet the winner of the second semifinal between Pakistan and hosts Sri Lanka.

"It doesn’t matter who we are playing in the final. We just need to focus on our strengths. Our plan is to take one game at a time,” she said.

During her three-wicket haul, Renuka also completed 50 wickets in T20Is, and she was understandably elated.

“Quite happy to take my 50th wicket in T20Is. But more importantly I have been able to contribute to the victory of the team and the country.”

The 28-year-old said she and fellow pacer Pooja Vastrakar have worked out a simple but effective plan in the Power Plays.

“I have a good partnership with Pooja (in bowling). Our tactics and mindset are quite simple. I look to bowl dot balls from one end so that she can take wickets or the other way around. So, we are looking to complement each other,” she added.
