Win this one boys

"Hello from Guwahati," texts Prakash Govindasreenivasan from Guwahati. "Axar and Bumrah are bowling on the side pitch but neither at full tilt, and Harshit Rana has just marked his run-up."

Axar and Bumrah are bowling on the side pitch but neither at full tilt, and Harshit Rana has just marked his run-up.

Dan Weston: "Runs galore!"

Ishan Kishan: I was just hoping to just go in, be calm and watch each and every ball and just play the cricketing shots which are required at that point of time. When you are chasing a total like 209, it's very important to get as many runs as you can in the powerplay. But at the same point, my thinking was, let's not think of losing my wicket by playing shots, but at the same time, I can play some good shots. And I felt, for left-hand batsmen, it was much easier to play in the middle, the way they were bowling. So I thought of just getting in that zone and getting as many runs as possible. I just had one question, if I can do this again or not. If I do it again, that will give me much more confidence for myself. I just need to enjoy each and every time because, sometimes it's hard to be in the present moment, but at the same time, it matters the most when you are in the present and you just take one day at a time or one game at a time. And you just try and put up a good show. So that was the whole point of me just enjoying cricket and getting back to the basics, taking a step back and just focusing on what's important for me. After looking at everything, after going through everything, I think there's not much change I get. I don't get much happy. I don't get more sad. So it's just that I'm in the present and you know, important thing is World Cup is ahead and what we need to do in the World Cup is more important. So I was just thinking about how we are going to win this trophy and what else we need to improve in ourselves.

India won the toss and opted to bowl first.

Suryakumar Yadav: We'll look to bowl first. Wicket looks good, there'll be dew later on. Be fearless, take your own call, enjoy and be humble at the same time. Two changes. Arshdeep and Varun resting tonight, Bumrah and Bishnoi come in.

Santner: I thought we batted quite well. Take learnings from the last game and put it into this game. Move on pretty quickly. Neesh was going to play, we've brought Jamieson for Foulkes.
