Pooran\u2019s innings was laced with seven sixes and one boundary as he continued his fine form in the tournament with his fourth half-century, in six games, and was well supported by Aiden Markram\u2019s 58-run opening cameo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With Sai Kishore being in top form, having claimed 10 wickets heading into the game, Pooran knew he would have to take on the left-arm finger spinner and he did just that by hitting three sixes in Kishore\u2019s first over. The left-hander stated a lot of his game has to do with understanding which players to go after.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It was absolutely a beautiful wicket to bat on. It's not much talk. As a group we know we have depth in our batting lineup. Unfortunately, Mitch didn't play so Rishabh stepped up and played. Nice to see Aiden get a start and carry on. I surprise myself sometimes. For me, it's about trying to get the ball off as close to the middle of the bat as possible and trust my bat swing. If I tell you everything, they'll figure me out eventually.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It's about understanding who to take down and leaving the ego away as well sometimes. It is not about hitting sixes for me, it is how I go about my innings. Getting the opportunity to bat at number 3, you need to make the play at times and consolidate at times. I had to be brave and take my matchup on. Today I was lucky, it was the big side and I can hit it in the air and get out too, it was my matchup and today was one of the days when it came off,\" said Pooran after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
