At the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday, Harmanpreet timed her shots very well and placed them exquisitely, even as she struggled with a dodgy knee, to top-score with a counter-attacking 66 off 44 balls, laced with nine fours and two sixes, as MI posted 149\/7, after making just 20 runs in their first six overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The total eventually proved to be enough to win the title in front of their home fans as MI bowlers, led by Nat Sciver Brunt\u2019s three-fer, kept DC to 141\/9. \u201cI think it's helped that we've played three games here. We knew that we could catch up later on in the innings and it was always hard.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhen she\u2019s at her best, she\u2019s the best in the world. She\u2019s been really calm, and she\u2019s deeply competitive. Clearly, she wanted to win another title and she did everything in her power to do that with the innings she played.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe first six overs at this ground, we always felt there was something in the pitch, so I think she just read the conditions brilliantly. She knew which bowlers to be aggressive against and it was just such a great innings and really set us up,\" said Charlotte after the match ended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jonathan Batty, DC\u2019s head coach, also praised Harmanpreet for her knock leading MI to the trophy. \"I thought Harman took the attack to us. I thought we bowled pretty well but she took a few risks and got away with it because she backed herself to do that.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saturday\u2019s game was also MI\u2019s fourth game of this week and Charlotte was proud of how the team stepped up in these hectic days to eventually win the trophy. \u201cI am just delighted for them all because they\u2019ve worked so hard. They\u2019ve played four games in six days which everyone needs to remember as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
