Addressing the Vadodara media on Tuesday, players and coaches of the Adani Sportsline-owned team reflected on the season so far and underlined the significance of returning to Kotambi Stadium and playing in front of their home supporters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Head Coach Michael Klinger said, \u201cOur initial strategy was to find the right combination, especially for our playing XI. We\u2019ve spoken to the group about the brand of cricket we want to play and the targets we aim to achieve, both in Mumbai and now in Vadodara. I felt we played some really good cricket in our first couple of games with two solid wins, but in the last three matches we\u2019ve fallen a little off the pace and haven\u2019t played quite at our best. With three matches still to go, we remain very much in the competition. We will have to tweak our strategy slightly, especially with the playing conditions being different here.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Captain Ashleigh Gardner echoed the belief within the group. \u201cWe\u2019ve played some good cricket and some not-so-good cricket, but it\u2019s important to trust your preparation as individuals and as a team. We\u2019re focused on building an environment where everyone is gelling well. For us, it\u2019s about sticking to our processes and hopefully putting on stronger performances for our home crowd in these last three games.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Senior pacer Renuka Singh spoke about adapting to conditions in Vadodara. \u201cThe wicket here has been slightly different, with different soil and a bit less bounce. As bowlers, we need to adjust quickly to the conditions, and it\u2019s great to be playing in front of our home crowd.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
