It was not a nice way to lose a match. We were always behind the D/L Method after Malik and Butt's partnership and we were playing the catching (up) game after that.
bat confident cricket games good plans playing prefer specific won
We are playing good cricket and have won 11 games when we have chased. We are confident of doing both. We have specific plans when we bat first or chase. I do not think we prefer doing one over another.

ball bit both taken
It was unfortunate we both got out just before the new ball was taken and that put us in a bit of trouble.

It was an unfortunate way to lose the match. But rules are rules and they are part of the game. The match was heading towards an exciting finish when it had to be called off.
