The Indian skipper, MS DHONI says it was important to be at that top of the game. Further says (on UAE) whatever they did was their best. Adds that if you see the batting order, maybe a change here or there is possible but playing their bowlers was important. Says there is always scope for improvement and you can get better with time. Continues sayng it is just that you have to be consistent in a big game of cricket. Further states it is not necessary for him to promote himself up if the top order sticks to their roles and responsibilities. Adds saying you have an advantage of being the home team and Bangladesh have played good cricket to reach the final. Ends saying they have played some dominating cricket in this tournament and is very happy with how they've performed so far.
Man of the Match, ROHIT SHARMA says such wickets have been challenging and not the easiest ones to bat on. Adds that he is glad that he was able to put up an innings like this. Continues saying that you have to analyze the conditions and then you can play your shots. Further says he changes his shot selection on such wickets as it comes with an extra bounce. Ends saying that you have to use the pace of the bowler and play your shots.
The UAE skipper, AMJAD JAVED says they planned to score 120 and put some pressure. Adds that they came up against the best team in the tournament. Continues saying they had some problems with their batting and will go back and play a few domestic games and come back hard. States they have played well against Scotland, Afghanistan and Ireland. Ends saying they have faced some top quality sides and will perform well in the future.
UAE have overall done well in this tournament. After beating three teams in the qualifiers they cemented their place in the Asia Cup. It is not a bad start for a team who has limited exposure to international cricket. They have gained some much needed experience from playing against quality oppositions and will take a plenty of positives from here for the future. Stay tuned for the presentation...
A mere target of 82 was way too less for India. They came in and finished it in style. They did a few experiments today and everything worked for them. Promoting Yuvraj and three changes in the playing XI, all went in their favour. The Indian team has yet again proven that they are the best Asian side.
Now that was an easy win for India. The Indian openers started the chase in a brisk manner. Rohit, in particular, came in and played a quick cameo of 39 and got his runs with ease. He showed his class. Yuvraj was promoted to number three and he also made full use of it. He hit a few lusty blows to give a rather one-sided contest an entertaining finish.
