Arundhati Reddy says India will now focus on improving net run rate

India medium-pacer Arundhati Reddy on Sunday said the team's focus will be on boosting the net run rate in the upcoming matches of the Women's T20 World Cup, having failed to do so in the six-wicket victory over Pakistan here.

The 27-year-old Reddy was the star of the day as she returned excellent figures of 3/19 to help India restrict Pakistan to 105 for eight.

The Indian batters' overcautious approach nearly cost them the match before skipper Harmanpreet Kaur used her years of experience to bail the team out.

"We understand net run rate is important but also winning the game is all the more important for us. Like you said again net run rate will be in play especially in this group," Reddy said at the post-match press conference.

"Honestly today the wicket was playing a little slower. So obviously, the batters could not. The main thing was to finish the game. But we've discussed about it (net run rate). And we're looking forward to improve on it in the next few games."
