"We had contributions across the board which was nice to see. We all know our roles with bat and ball and we executed well."
On Lisa Keightley as coach: "She is great and brings the fun and energy. She is quirky and an airhead at times but she keeps us on our toes.
"We had a great thing going on last year and we are a really good group. We have gelled well. We know each other really well and trust each other on the field."
On her personal goals: "It is all about the team. We want to get to the final. Looking after the team means your personal things come."

Hollie Armitage and Georgia Wareham put on 52 (35) for the fifth wicket.
Northern Superchargers leg-spinner Georgia Wareham speaking on Sky Sports: "It feels really good out there with the girls. We are all clinical and that showed up on the scoreboard."
"We spoke about being really calm and we knew that there were lots of balls left. It is always calm when the skipper [Hollie Armitage] is out there. We also wanted to take the game on which the batters did really well."
On the work with the ball: "We wanted to keep the stumps in play and the change of pace we brought in worked well."
On the first win: "Starting off with a win is really good. You wouldn't know this is our first game with how we played."

It is never in doubt when an Australian is underneath the ball. The Superchargers are one of the strongest sides and they have their campaign off to a fantastic start.
Welsh Fire were beaten by the better team.
It's a comprehensive victory for Northern Superchargers to kick off their season.
For Welsh Fire, 94 is their lowest ever total in the women's competition, beating their previous mark of 95-9.
Levick c Wareham b Ballinger 11 (Welsh Fire 94-10)
What a catch! Georgia Wareham racing in and diving forward at mid-wicket to dismiss Katie Levick.
Grace Ballinger finishes with two wickets.
Need 48 runs to win
Kate Cross is knocked over as Katie Levick smashes the ball back to the bowler and into her shins.
Need 48 runs to win
These two are doing everything they can to prevent Welsh Fire from being bowled out. They've put on 18 from 21 balls.
Grace Ballinger will bowl the final set.
Need 50 runs to win
Shabnim Ismail and Katie Levick have resorted to sneaky singles. They've already built Welsh Fire's second-highest partnership.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Georgia Wareham has been so economical; you want to get the tailenders to be playing across the ball.
Superchargers have bowled so well as a unit. They have created opportunities and have applied so much pressure.
Need 52 runs to win
142 is out of the question for Welsh Fire. However, their lowest total (95-9) is within reach.
10 balls to go.
Need 53 runs to win
Should Katie Levick be batting up the order? She adds four to her side's total after picking a gap in the field, although Hollie Armitage maybe should have done better with her attempted flick back on the rope.
Need 59 runs to win
Five runs off Linsey Smith's final set.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Phoebe Litchfield covered a lot of ground and tried to flick it back in. She ended up flicking it over her own body!
10/10 for effort however.
Need 60 runs to win
A boundary for Shabnim Ismail! Something for Welsh Fire to cheer!
She just clears the in-field and a sliding Phoebe Litchfield carries the ball over the rope.
