"Very proud. I don’t have words to express myself. Feeling great, this time we have crossed that line which we have been working towards for so many years. Today, we wanted everything to go in our favour in every situation, and kept telling ourselves to be there for the team, and that worked for us."
"That day (against England earlier), we realised we did not execute well. We were late by 2-3 overs; we could have taken risks a few overs earlier, and that cost us. That is what we discussed, that we have to be calculative. Once you are out of the game, it is hard to come back. I know it is 50 overs, but the last five overs are where you have to be very particular and calculative."
