Mumbai Indians pace bowler Issy Wong, who also took three wickets on Thursday, indicated the variety in the bowling attack had made the team quite a force to reckon with.

“We have got a very diverse bowling attack. We have got left-arm spinners, off-spinners, leg-spinners. We have got a variety of seam bowlers as well with different change-ups,” said Wong.

“We cover all the bases. It allows us to be really flexible. Harman [Kaur] been fantastic, just pulling strings here and there. Especially Hayley, Harman brought her on at just the right time in the game against RCB and the diversity of our attack allows us to do that,” she added.

Wong added Mumbai Indians couldn’t have hoped for a better start to the WPL.

“[Winning] three out of three is a great start. It can’t get better than that. We have worked really hard in training. We have made the most out of the squad we have got and there have been some great performances from all the girls,” she said.

Delhi Capitals head coach Jonathan Batty expressed that losing seven wickets for a little over 20 runs was the reason they lost the match.

“Full credit to the Mumbai Indians who bowled really well with the new ball. They restricted us in the powerplay,” he said.

“We were recovering well at 80 for three after 12 overs but then we lost seven wickets for 24 runs and only batted out 18 overs. Losing out in two overs at the back end and [it] hurts you. It was not quite a good wicket as we have been playing on, so maybe 150-160 might have been a realistic target,” he said.
