After losing the toss for 10th time Virat said," This is a ground where the pitch is going to be nice in both the innings. Still, if you play good cricket and bowl well, you have a good chance of winning. We can max get to 12 points, it's about enjoying these two games. The reason why we bounced back is because we focussed on that (having fun). We can't afford to take too much of pressure."

Smith said We are going to bowl, looks a pretty good wicket. Hopefully, we can bowl well and restrict them to a good total. You don't try to think too much about that (playoffs). We just have to play to win.
