India tasted their first defeat in the tournament against South Africa at Perth after recording successive victories over arch rivals Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Netherlands at the Sydney Cricket Ground respectively.
That defeat on a bouncy Perth pitch against South Africa last Sunday has created a situation which calls for Rohit Sharma and his team in blue to win their next four games in a row to clinch the crown, team’s head coach Rahul Dravid acknowledged here today ahead of tomorrow’s round robin clash here at the Adelaide Oval against Bangladesh.
“We will have to play well to win, no question about it. We started well. A little bit of a disappointing game at Perth. We fought really well and hard. We made a few mistakes as well. A little bit of luck here and there, that could have been a slightly different result,” said the former India skipper at the pre match press conference today.
