Indian skipper, Shubman Gill was critical of his side's fielding after the 13-run loss to Zimbabwe and also said that after losing five wickets early, he himself should have stayed till the end to finish the match for his side.
  'We bowled pretty well, we let ourselves down in the field. We were not up to standard and everyone looked a bit rusty. We spoke about taking time and enjoying our batting but it didn't pan out that way.
Halfway through we had lost 5 wickets, would've been best for us if I stayed there till the end, very disappointed with the way I got out and the rest of the match panned out. There was a bit of hope for us but when you're chasing 115 and your no.10 batter is out there, you know something is wrong,' Gill said. On the other hand, Zimbabwe's skipper, Sikandar Raza was ecstatic with his team's display and said that it was not a low-scoring surface, but it was the calibre of the bowlers that did not allow the batsmen to score a lot of runs. 'Feel really happy about the win. Need to take one game at a time.
The job is not done, series is not over. World champions play like world champions so we need to be ready for the next game. This isn't a wicket where you get bowled out for 115. Credit to the bowlers of both sides. Clearly an indication we need to up our skills,' Raza said in the post-match press conference.
