Feeling really good. The last 6-8 months everyone has put in the hard work, the coaching staff as well kept tabs on us. I want to dedicate this award to the supporting staff. We were not taking too much pressure, tried to keep it simple and do the things we have done through the tournament. The preparation has been good, not only from Asia Cup, but from the last 8-9 months everyone has worked hard. We know the kind of work we have put in during that period. I trust my skills and I knew I have the capability to perform in the big games.

Raj Angad Bawa took five wickets while Ravi Kumar scalped four for India. In reply, the Boys in Blue rode on fifties from Shaik Rasheed and Nishant Sindhu to romp home with four wickets to spare.
Looking for his first World Cup hundred, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is leading the batting charts for India. The left-hander has been able to provide blistering starts to India and also play a run-a-ball knock when required. So far, in six matches, Suryavanshi scored 264 runs, averaging 44 and a strike rate of 147.
The best part about India in this tournament is everyone stepping up when required. Although Vaibhav Suryavanshi is yet to score a hundred, the likes of Vihaan Malhotra, Vedant Trivedi, Aaron George, Abhigyan Kundu have stepped up when needed according to the situation. On the bowling front, the likes of RS Ambrish, Henil Patel, Udhav Mohan and Deepesh Devendran have delivered.
India are one of the two unbeaten sides in the competition. After beating USA, Bangladesh and New Zealand in the group stages, the Boys in Blue overcame Zimbabwe and Pakistan in the Super 6 stage. In the semifinals, India skittled out Afghanistan to march into the final.
