India's fate now depends on the outcome of the New Zealand versus Afghanistan encounter on a Sunday afternoon in Abu Dhabi.
Virat Kohli doesn바카라t want to go overboard after India바카라s second consecutive dominating victory in the T20 World Cup 2021 even though he rued the absence of a couple of 바카라good overs바카라 which could have possibly changed the outcomes of the games against Pakistan and New Zealand.
HIGHLIGHTS | NEWS | NZ vs NAM
India trounced Scotland by eight wickets in 6.3 overs while chasing 86 for a win to stay alive in the semifinal race. In the previous game, India beat Afghanistan by 66 runs. However, the losses against Pakistan and New Zealand meant that now their fate depends on the Afghanistan-New Zealand game on Sunday.
바카라It바카라s a dominating performance. It was something we were striving to again. I don바카라t want to say too much about today because we know how we can play,바카라 said Kohli at the post-match presentation ceremony.
바카라These little things in T20 cricket (toss, conditions) matter and we're glad to be back in our mojo.바카라 Kohli though regretted the fact they could not play their usual dominant games against Pakistan and New Zealand.
바카라We basically broke it down to the fact that we couldn't get away at all in those two games, two overs could have made the difference. I'm just pleased everyone is getting into their own,바카라 he said. The India skipper said they wanted to restrict Scotland to 바카라100-120 max바카라.
바카라But we restricted them to a total that allowed us to leapfrog everyone else. We spoke about finishing in the 8-10 over bracket. You don't want to go in with a six-and-a-half or a seven-and-half run mark because then you're doing too much. We gave that bracket and allowed them to get that momentum.바카라
KL Rahul (50) and Rohit Sharma (30) came out all guns blazing as they scored 70 runs in first five overs to seal the deal for India. 바카라If you look at our practice games as well, the guys have been batting like that. Two overs of cricket like that and the momentum of the tournament could have been completely different.바카라
Scotland skipper Kyle Coetzer admitted that they were 바카라outclassed in every department바카라. 바카라But the only way we'll improve is going through games like that and seeing it head on. Mark바카라s been excellent, he바카라s got an array of skills. Great to see him learning from other spinners here as well and that's why these tournaments are important,바카라 he said.
