India opener Smriti Mandhana said she was still struggling to process the magnitude of her team’s achievement, calling it “unreal” after India claimed their maiden Women’s World Cup title with a 52-run win over South Africa here on Sunday.
“I don’t know how to react to that, it’s still sinking in. It’s just a very unreal moment, home World Cup and just to read that we are Champions, I’m still not able to process it,” she added.
Mandhana, who was part of the side that lost the 2020 T20 World Cup final, said it felt good to be on the winning side for a change.
“There have been so many heartbreaks for all of us. But now, I don’t know how do I explain the last 40 days, but yeah, I mean to end it with a World Cup win, I will take that,” she concluded.
