Rohit Sharma: Good start to the tournament. Job is half done. Important to stay balanced. Not to think too far ahead. Important to stay in the present. Shami took the oppurtunity with bot hands. He has experience. At one stage, we were looking at 300 plus, Credit to our bowlers at the back end.
Latham: We played reasonably well. We didn't quite capitalized in the last 10. We left a little out there. But credit to India. We weren't able to get the double breakthroygh with the ball. Rachin and Mitchell had a fantastic partnership to set us up for the last 10. We have a perfect group. We want to be in those positions. Rachin with the bat, Daryl with the 100.
Mohammed Shami | Player of the Match: Got a lot of confidence after taking a wicket on the first ball. If your team mates are doing well, you should support them, it's important that the team performs well, I understand that.
