"We did what we were here for. Everyone is backing others. The team management always motivated us. I am really happy," Shafali Verma breaks down.
"Not the only trophy this year. Want the bigger one as well," she adds.
England captain Grace Scrivens is the player of the tournament with 293 runs and 9 wickets.
"It feels surreal. We have been looking forward to this for a long time. All the bowlers had a plan in mind. It's not quite lonely (on being the only pacer), because we are all teammates (chuckles). We had watched the matches here and knew where to bowl," says Titas Sadhu the Player of the Match.
