A convincing win for India. They go on top of Group 2 and take a step towards the semi-final spots. That concludes the coverage of this match. The third match of the day, between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, gets underway shortly. Thanks for being along with us. Bye for now.
Scott Edwards: Definately the noisiest crowds. It is difficult to speak to the players sometimes, but it was a great experience. We came here to win and put on a good performance, but the way those two batters played in the end just took the game away from us.
Rohit Sharma: Lucky for us, we had a few days to get over that special win. As soon as the game got over, we came to Sydney and regrouped. We have to move on now, and the focus was on this game where we wanted to come out and get those two points. I thought it was a clinical win. Looking at the way they have qualified for the Super 12s, credit to them. We however always looked to what we can do with ourselves, not bother about the opposition. To be honest, this was a near perfect win. Yes, we played a little slow at the start but that was the conversation between me and Virat, we had to wait on that surface to play the big shots. Not too happy with my fifty, but what's important is getting runs - dosen't matter if they are good looking runs or ugly runs. At the end of the day, it is about keeping the confidence up.
Suryakumar Yadav | Player of the Match: I was just trying to express myself when I went into bat. The situation was very simple, I just had to up the tempo at that time. I took one ball today (to get going), but the message was loud and clear. We had to get about 8-10 an over and get a total which our bowlers could defend easily. Very happy with the way things went. Really enjoying batting with him (Kohli), the thoughts are very clear when we both are batting.If I get few boundaries earlier then our partnership needs to be stretched and that's what we are doing.
Suryakumar Yadav is the Player of the Match for his quickfire unbeaten fifty!
