The Captains speak:
Suryakumar Yadav – India captain:
This is for India. We played the same brand of cricket we wanted to play. At 0-1, someone needed to take responsibility and Ishan did that amazingly. There was a bit of a slump but that is the beauty of T20 cricket.
As soon as we reached 175 we thought it was 15-20 runs over par. At 155 it would have been a very tight game. Hardik took the new ball and took charge. Bumrah then showed why he is the best in the world. It was great to see everyone contributing.”
Salman Ali Agha - Pakistan captain:
We went with four spinner and they had an off-day. Our execution was missing in some parts. With the bat, we did not start well. If you lose 3-4 wickets in the Powerplay, you are always chasing the game. In the first innings, it was a bit tacky and the ball was gripping too. The pitch played better in the second innings but we did not bowl according to the situation and we did not apply ourselves with the bat.
In these games the emotions are always going to be high, we just need to deal with it. We have a game in a couple of days and we have to look forward to it. We need to win that and qualify. Then it is a new tournament.”
