Player of the match for scoring match-winning 38-ball unbeaten 53 in a seven-wicket win in India’s Women’s T20 World Cup opener here on Sunday, Jemimah Rodrigues said it special to score runs in front of her parents, who witnessed the Indo-Pak clash from the stands. 

“Yeah, this  feels sweet you know, like when it mattered the most it came and like I’m grateful to Jesus and my parents [who] were here today so it’s even more special. They’ve never experienced an India-Pakistan game,” Rodrigues said at the post-match press conference.
