Kohli tweeted that the Indian women's team can held their head high for the effort they made despite the unwanted result. "Always tough to bow out of a tournament you aim to win but our women’s team can hold their heads high. You gave it your all and we are proud of you," Kohli wrote on Twitter on Monday morning.

During the post-match presentation, Indian captain Mithali Raj also praised her team members for their effort during the tournament.

“I personally feel the girls gave it all, it was an important game, was a good game, it ended our campaign, but I’m proud of the girls for coming so far. With the bowlers we had, I thought 275 was a good total, we had defended similar totals in the past".
