Would’ve been a various game had we obtained early arches. We kept shedding arches in the middle overs. We shed the video game however did a great deal of ideal points. Felt like we were 10-15 runs brief. However early wickets might’ve transformed the video game today,” claimed Pooran in a post-match discussion.
