Both the captain were highest scorer for their team but it was Dhoni who got more and lead in front for victory. After match Dhoni says "If you're not winning games, you don't enjoy playing cricket and our losing streak was a bit too long. ", further he added " We actually played quite well during the ODIs in England and our batsmen got us the runs. But the rain there made it hard for our spinners to grip the wet ball and the seamers too were easy to score of since the ball would come on to the bat better after it rained. Tonight there was no dew and our bowlers showed that they can win us games if the conditions are in their favour."
