Amy Jones said at the press conference, ‘We were in a very difficult situation in this match. To be honest, in the last week there were some areas in which I had to improve further. I was feeling that for some time now I have not been able to lead my team to victory. So I worked on my game mentally. Today it proved to be completely true and I am very happy with my performance.

Amelia Kerr praised Amy Jones’ batting

New Zealand women’s team’s stand-in captain Amelia Kerr said, ‘It was a tremendous fight. We fell their first four wickets and then six wickets of the England team fell. We were just one wicket short of winning the match. Good international teams have a lot of depth in their batting. They know very well how to build partnerships.

We knew that if we want to win the match, we will have to take England’s wickets at regular intervals and we did that but Amy Jones and Dean made a very good partnership and we could not break their partnership. I would like to say that both these players batted very well. Charlie Dean did his part well while Amy Jones supported him very well. I feel very bad that we could not win this match.
