After losing the match against India, Nicholas Pooran shared a few words in the post-match presentation. "Definitely, last couple of overs we didn't hold our nerves. Last 6 overs, we lost the game.

We felt a spinner was easier to hit. We just needed one wicket to seal the game but Axar played really well. His (Hope's) 100th ODI, he was exceptional to get a hundred.

We did an exceptional job with the batting group. We tried to compete really hard. We want to win really bad," said Nicholas Pooran as quoted by Cricbuzz.

"I think this is a special one. It came at a crucial time and also helped the team to win the series. We have done the same in the IPL. We just needed to remain calm and keep the intensity up. I was playing an ODI after close to 5 years. I would want to continue performing like this for my team," said Axar Patel.

However, during the game, Shikhar Dhawan got a nasty blow on his head during the spell of Romario Shepherd and got out in the same over.
