Opener Pratika Rawal, who top scored with 122 as the hosts beat New Zealand by 53 runs at the Dy Patil Stadium on Thursday to end India’s three-match losing streak, said she was always confident the team would bounce back.

“We were having this discussion about believing in ourselves, that we can win a match at any moment because we have those kinds of players. We have match-winners who can score big runs and take a lot of wickets. I’m really happy that it all worked out for us today [Thursday], and I just hope it continues,” Rawal said during the post-match press conference on Thursday.
