In matches like this, roles have to be changed. Deepti's overs in the middle were important. Rana was amazing bowling with only three fielders in the deep. That will be remembered for a long time. I was trying to remember the last-ball matches and hoped we would get over the line. We haven't done that well, so more than my fielding, I was hoping to get over the line this time. I was batting well in the last 2-3 weeks, it was like I was 2-3 years back. I'm happy to have found the touch, and hope to do it in the final too. The crowd is amazing, today England had the support. We usually have it. I'll take half an hour for things to settle in. But it's been amazing today. Smriti Mandhana
