Southern Brave bowler Tymal Mills on Saturday's Eliminator and the final: "Yeah, it was a great night, pretty mentally draining. We had to fight all the way through and then to take it to a Super Five, and then yeah, the boys did brilliantly to close it out, but yeah, didn't have much time to celebrate or enjoy it, it was straight to bed and then here we are tonight.

"[We] got back to the hotel about midnight and then I managed to get to sleep about 1am, slept in, 10am I think I slept until."

"We played well yesterday, especially the bowlers, we all bowled really well so we come into this game confident, we all know our bodies well, we're all pretty experienced players, we're probably one of the older teams in the tournament, so yeah, look, we know what we have to do to get ready for today so there's certainly no excuses."

Oval Invincibles captain Sam Billings on batting first: "We weren't too sure what we would have done if we had won the toss either. It looks a really good wicket, so we are happy with doing it either way. Hopefully we can get a good few runs on the board and defend it later.

"It is the same wicket we played on last year so hopefully we can get some runs on the board and play well as a side. We have done well both batting and bowling first all through the competition, so it's another great occasion and I'm looking forward to enjoying it."

Southern Brave captain James Vince on winning toss: "I wasn't sure quite what to do, but yeah, we're going to have a bowl first.

"Particularly at Lord's, you're never quite sure what a good score is so there is some clarity in the chase."

More from London Spirit captain Heather Knight: "I said to Deepti this morning about it being another Lord's final, because obviously she was playing for India in 2017, and we said to each other: 'Let's win this one. Let's do it.'

"So I'm super happy. It is always special playing a final here, I mean it is super special regardless, but it's another win which is nice!"

Tara Norris on tense ending: "A few nerves on the end but no, Deepti (Sharma) had an amazing end, credit to all the bowlers and betters today, they’ve been exceptional. Definitely [no finger nails left], I’m lost for words."

The record attendance just keeps getting beaten and beaten, doesn't it?! Look, it is fantastic for the women's game.

It is fantastic to go out there and play in front of a full crowd and a full house at Lord's.

London Spirit batter and wicketkeeper Georgia Redmayne: "I was struggling. There was a long time between boundaries for me. I thought the way Gibbo (Danielle Gibson) come out and played, that really relieved the pressure.

"I thought (Shabnim) Ismail bowled really well today and came on with those crunch wickets. Gibbo had that counter punch [which] was great and that helped me to have space later in the innings too."

On whether she felt London Spirit were always in control: "No. I don't think you ever feel controlled in a chase in the final but honestly, what a moment for our team.

"To do it in front of a home crowd, the biggest crowd at Lord's for a women's game, is such a special moment. I'm so proud of the girls."

London Spirit all-rounder Charlie Dean on the victory: "Buzzing. It was a bit of a close one wasn't it, not good for the nails."

On whether she was nervous: "I knew they had it, but when I was next into bat, maybe a little bit."

It is a good sign for the tournament in general that you are spreading the talent and making the tournament competitive.

That is the whole point because the next step for a lot of these girls is the World Cup, so they needed that competition and to be put under pressure in these kind of moments to take that into the World Cup.
