Winning their sixth match in the tournament, Mayank Agarwal looked happy in the post-match presentation and shared a few words about the game. "We were brilliant with the bat. Wicket was holding up a bit. The way Jonny and Livi batted, was amazing.

We haven't changed a lot to be honest, just about understanding few situations, understanding the wicket. Have to be adaptable and flexible which we have been, which is nice," Mayank Agarwal was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

"Can't be too defensive with the ball. If batsmen get going, it doesn't matter, the boundaries don't matter these days. Two points the most crucial thing for us. As long as the job gets done, I'm fine batting at five.

Very very energetic person, very confident guy (Arshdeep). Enjoys his cricket. Must say he's the leader in the team. He rallies around everyone, takes up the responsibility, even goes up and speaks to the bowlers sometimes," he added.
