Once sneh

Niki Prasad: Delhi Capitals star Niki Prasad has said that the three-run defeat against the Gujarat Giants will serve as a big learning lesson for her. The 20-year-old played a fearless knock of 47 off just 25 deliveries at the BCA stadium on Tuesday.

Prasad, who walked at a time when the Delhi Capitals were reeling at 100 for 6 chasing a total of 174, said that she had the belief to close the match as she walked at the crease.

“When I went in, we were definitely in a very tricky situation, but in my mind it was clear that if I could stay there and keep the momentum going, we still had a chance. Once Sneh came in and she started getting boundaries straight away, it gave me a lot of confidence, and we both spoke about keeping that 12-runs-an-over momentum alive,” she said.
