Hartley praised the resilience shown by the top-order batter in subsequent major tournaments.

The player herself reflected on the benefit of dedicated training time away from competitive fixtures.

"That three-month block at the beginning of the year was amazing, just to get some proper skills development, which I've probably not had for the last couple of years," said Capsey.

Capsey indicated that this preparation period directly translated into better emotional control during pressure situations on the field.

Stand-in captain Charlie Dean explained the decision-making process at the toss and discussed the pitch conditions at Derby.

"We're going to have a bowl.
