The manner Wani’s (Wanindu Hasaranga) ball missed (David) Miller’s stump by millimetres or for that matter, even (Mohammed) Siraj’s yorker or a LBW shout that was turned down in opposition to (Rahul) Tewatia. A few efforts within the area as effectively the place we most likely might have stopped a number of extra runs or might have scored 7-10 runs extra. I feel it’s a sport of small margins,” lamented Bangar.

“We would take a look at the sport holistically relatively than pondering of departments. All three departments in case you would see, we’ve sure areas to step up. How can we get 10 runs extra? How can we cease 6 runs within the area? Or might we’ve completed something completely different from a bowling perspective? Those are the issues that we’d evaluate and we’ll work to enhance upon them within the subsequent sport,” added Bangar.
