(Losing captain): I will give the credit to them. It was not an easy wicket. With 3 spinners, it was difficult to manoeuvre in the first 6 overs. But KL batted really well and Pooran towards the end was good with his lusty hits. It was a really good batting effort from their side. We did whatever we could, it did not work for us. Quite happy with the way we bowled, despite giving a few runs at the start. That's something you have to keep it mind, If you can't win a game, you make sure you get the opposition to get the runs in most number of overs.
