Quotes
“Everyone on the team hates losing. In the first game, we didn’t play at our best, if we can call it as it is. And then the second game, the whole focus was just to try and give us the best chance to win. In the second game, we were a lot more focused on winning those small battles because in T20 two or three overs is actually [significant], there’s a lot that can happen. So for us, it was just a focus point in terms of just trying to win those small battles. And I think we won most of the small battles, even though it was a low-scoring game.”

However the principle factor is how neatly I will be able to adapt to the statuses and the statuses of the sport, how I will be able to assault the batsman early on and snatch some early wickets. Or even on the dying how I will be able to outsmart them and produce the sport again into our fingers.
