"I'm learning a lot to keep playing the game." The coaching staff conveyed that message. I appear composed just for the camera. I've been consistently going for runs lately, and with Morne's assistance, I'm attempting to stay in the game. I could have done a better job of planning, but I liked some of Finn's shots. During the post-match presentation ceremony, Arshdeep Singh stated, "They were always going to come hard."
"We talked about body language and how we should do everything in our power to keep them under 180. I'm pleased with each player's performance, but the ideal team game hasn't arrived yet. I hope that happens during the World Cup," he continued.
