DC seized control early, making the most of the helpful conditions. The experienced new-ball duo of Marizanne Kapp (2-17) and Shikha Pandey (2-18) ripped through GG\u2019s top order, restricting them to a modest 127\/9. Then, Jonassen (61 not out off 32) and Shafali Verma (44 off 27) led a clinical chase, with the former\u2019s composed maiden WPL fifty earning her the Player of the Match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the victory, Jonassen said, \"The team ticked all the boxes and executed the plans well right from the very beginning. We picked up four wickets in the powerplay, thanks to Marizanne (Kapp) and Shikha (Pandey), which set the tone for us. Moreover, we were pretty good with our fielding and took some amazing catches.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jonassen was promoted to number three in the batting order. The aggressive batter explained the reason behind the decision that eventually played a key role in DC's comfortable run chase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I had a conversation with our coach Jonathan Batty earlier in the day, and he told me that the team management was thinking of promoting me up the order if a wicket goes down early to inject a bit of firepower and a bit of intent during the power play. I'm happy that I could contribute to the team\u2019s win,\" she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
When asked about playing back-to-back matches within a short time, Jonassen said, \u201cIt can work both ways.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cFor us, the good thing is that we have a lot of experience in our dressing room, so having one bad outing can't derail us. With a quick turnaround, you don't have enough time to sit and dwell on your mistakes or the things that didn't quite go to plan. You just have to keep looking forward,\u201d she further highlighted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
