Mithali stated that there were no demons in the conditions while batting second. New Zealand's line and length were so much on the target that India were 50/3 in 20 overs at one point. "There was extra bounce under lights and it got slower in the second innings, their seamers were hitting the right areas with the bounce, but it wasn't unplayable and we could have done better."With India's next match coming against the West Indies on Saturday, Mithali remarked that the batting has to get better in the tournament with other teams crossing the 250-mark in the tournament. "Our batting, especially the top and middle order needs to fire because other teams are posting 250-260. Our bowlers have done well today and earlier as well. The batting has to step up."
