“I am very much satisfied with the performance of the team. They are doing really well. This match was low scoring, for the wicket was slow from the beginning. But the players did well to handle the situation. Prayas is a good bowler and he is bowling up to his caliber. But our seamers are also looking in a good shape,” said Coach Mainakh Sengupta.
