Let us have a look at statements from captains of both sides.
“This win is a team effort, and the early wickets were very helpful. It gave us confidence and spinners also bowled well. We executed the plans very well. We as openers like to keep things simple and as the wicket kept getting better, we wanted to bat till the end. We will take confidence from the win but the tournament is not going to become easy. Before the match, I told players that we need to forget the history.” (Babar Azam, Pakistan captain)

“We did not execute the things we wanted to. Credit should be given where it’s due and Pakistan outplayed us today. We always knew we needed a total that is competitive. They did not give us any chances. It played pretty slow in the first half. A little bit of dew helps the ball come on better later. When you know conditions will change later, you need extra runs. Quality bowling from Pakistan upfront. With the dew coming in in the second half, the slower bowlers were not as effective. Just the start of the tournament, not the end, so important to stay composed. Certainly not the stage where we will be thinking what will we do moving forward.” (Virat Kohli, India captain)

“First time we’ve beaten India and it is because of the wishes from the Pakistanis. The plan was to bring the ball back in. It was not easy to bat against the new ball. Babar and Rizwan deserve a lot of credit. We need to carry forward this momentum.”
