Introduction

Are you set for a fresh start? A different champion on an old trophy?

A sell-out crowd is assembled at the Mumbai stadium for the competing squads, who overcame the established powers in their semi-finals. The Indian captain’s experienced Indian lineup face the South African skipper’s low-profile Proteas – the English and Australian sides observing from afar. Two totemic captains, two sides chock-a-block with talent.

This appears to be a game changer. Join us as we count every over.

India's Captain: Kaur

Kaur, whose demeanor reveals numerous narratives, wept as India defeated the Aussies. She was more composed on Saturday night.

“In my view the crucial element is that we have to enjoy this as there’s no greater moment than this in our life as athletes and as a captain. Hence our goal is to enjoy this moment and continue setting minor goals that we must accomplish together rather than thinking grander aims because you can achieve significant milestones through reaching the manageable steps.”

“For a cricketer, these moments are vital. To beat a side such as Australia, a powerhouse and historically excelled internationally. It’s not an easy thing to deliver and remain composed facing them. However, I believe overcoming that hurdle was truly remarkable for the entire team. I always tell my team that there’s no need to hold back emotions. If tears come, cry. Simultaneously, continue enjoying. I think there is no bigger achievement or thing for us. The final is a unique occasion and we will go with identical attitude.”

Proteas Skipper: Laura Wolvaardt

And some soft snow calm by the South African captain.

“Mandla [Mashimbyi, South Africa head coach], normally does the motivating talks, the ‘you’re carrying your country’ sort of address. Then I believe I’d contribute with a brief ‘keep cool, team’ to conclude. There’s going to be a lot of noise, a lot happening, a lot of maybe unusual procedures compared to normal during regular matches. Yet, finally, we need to execute fundamentals throughout the match, and stay calm for longer. In my view merely enduring and keeping cool is going to go significantly in the final.”

“I’m attempting to avoid thinking beyond the present; basically pace ourselves. I think the first time you reach the final, it feels like a really big, quick-moving occasion. We’ll require to decelerate and breathe deeply, and pray we’re able to do that collectively.”
