For us to comeback and put up such a brilliant effort, in the fielding effort as well, was sensational: Ellyse Perry

The Sydney-born cricketer feels their side had a great comeback in the second T20I game after losing the first very badly against the hosts. In addition, the right-handed batter reveals the tactical skills and pragmatic approach they used in the game to beat Team India in the second T20I game on January 7.

“Lovely to get the win in the end. Nice comeback for us, the other night India played very well. For us to comeback and put up such a brilliant effort, in the fielding effort as well, was sensational. It’s a great learning opportunity for us, to get a chance to bowl first and we just didn’t do enough the other night. I think wickets are crucial in that powerplay, once we get past that phase it gets a little bit easier. Having wickets is so important, probably 160 is a par score here,” she added further.
