Deepti further highlighted how excitedly the team looks forward to the semi-final challenge.
We have been fairly sure about every (match), every circumstance, and the conditions ever since the first game. “We are excited about the semi-final as well,” Deepti told the media following the game, as cited by NDTV Sports.

Deepti emphasised the significance of keeping things simple and giving each game your all focus.
Nothing has changed; just maintain a low key and focus on one game at a time. No changes have been made since I played here the last time, Deepti remarked.
