We always knew that they would work hard in the powerplay to chase the target in 12.1 overs. So we knew we were in the game, the plan was simple – to execute the plan and we got crucial wickets in the powerplay. These are matches you never know what can happen, after a boundary, you think the match is gone, but a wicket brings you back in the game.” He further said, “So there is very little scope for error in these matches. Such wickets are not high scoring so you always remain in the game. We have worked hard for this and we are in the semi-finals, we are very happy.”
