When we made it to the top two, we watched their match last night and knew they had been a strong and dominant team during the league stage. We realized we needed to stay alert and minimize our mistakes. Our team has been performing well in the last five or six matches, and everyone has contributed. The good thing is our hard work paid off, and the result was in our favor.”
Discussing the early wickets and his 49-run partnership with Tejaswi Dahiya, Anmol said, “When our early wickets fell, I wasn’t thinking about anything specific. Our only focus was to build a partnership. There was a lot of clarity between Tejas and me while batting together.”
He added, “We knew that if we stayed at the crease and kept playing, runs would come. Our main goal was to bat as long as possible and take the match forward. Unfortunately, I got out in the 16th over, but by then, our focus was on building partnerships and creating the best chance to win.”
