Jemimah Rodrigues called Amanjot Kaur during the team’s post-match celebration to honour her contribution. As she handed the medal to Amanjot, she said, “So, girls, we talk about special moments. We talk about special occasions. A lot of times it’s a 100 or a 50, but there are some moments in the game that change lives forever. And that moment has changed our lives forever, and that is today, Amanjot. First, starting with the run-out to set the tone in the chase, and then you just didn’t catch that catch, you caught the World Cup.”

Amanjot Kaur who was visibly emotional admitted afterward that it was one of the most difficult catches she had ever taken in her career. She said, “My god, it was the toughest catch of my life. I have never fumbled before, either I have taken them or spilled them. There has been nothing in between, but for the first time, god gave me three chances to take it. It was a crucial catch, and we knew she (Wolvaardt) would attack after completing her century and charge from one end.”
