Final is just another game: Shastri

“They are experienced players and they should treat this as another gamer. Our approach to every team and every game has been the same,” Shastri said. 

“Right from the start, we have approached every game as a knock-out game. The final will be no different for us,” he added. 

There were no specific or elaborate answers given by Shastri during his brief interaction with the media. Shastri, however, said having won a tough game against Bangladesh in the tournament’s first match will help his side in the final. 

“That was (first match) a good game. Bangladesh was a very good win, to start off with. In the first game, we were under pressure till the last 10 overs, when we bounced back. Every game is a tough game. It’s about how you balance things out in batting and bowling. We did an excellent job in that game,” the team director added.
