"In the last ball, I targeted on her toes, I think (I) executed well and thankfully it went straight to Shafali, who got it in quick enough. And coming away with the one-run win felt nice after the heartbreaking loss by one run in the previous game," Jonassen was quoted as saying in a media release.

Jess Jonassen is currently the leading wicket-taker in the WPL 2024. She bagged 10 wickets in just 5 matches. "Since I've got that Purple Cap on my head, I've been quite ordinary with the ball. Ideally, I'd love to keep taking wickets, but I haven't been as consistent as I was in those first couple of matches that I've played."

"I'm probably my harshest critic. It's something to be mindful of and keep rectifying. I always want to try and do my best for whatever team I'm a part of," she added.

Sunday's game was the closest of encounters that one has witnessed this season and Jonassen knew things went wrong once Richa hit her for a straight six.

"I internally knew that at the start of the over, if I could set it up without going for a boundary in one of the first two balls, then we were sort of well and truly on the front foot.

"But, getting hit for a massive six down the ground was not ideal, and then I gave it too much air for her in the second last ball."
