Sanath: We need to get the breakthrough early on if we want to win, "We need to play more positive cricket and put more pressure on the Indian batting order".

Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Overall it was a good performance and we wanted Sanath to take risks, that was the gameplan. "The batting powerplay is very tricky and it is very important to take early wickets and keep the pressure on", the partnership between Raina and Gambhir was very crucial.

Mahela: "Yeah they didnt panic in the end and Mahendra Singh Dhoni guided them home". We didnt keep up the pressure and we need to work on that. Amazing effort from Sanath Jayasuriya."We were 20 runs short on the day and credit to the Indians they played well".
