We don't have to worry about other results either. It is in our hands. If we win the game, we qualify, as simple as that. I don't think we have to think about other results. For us, it is simple math,\" Patel said in the post-match press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"We try to keep it as simple as possible. We know our strengths and our weaknesses. We want to build on our strengths and want to ensure we make fewer unforced errors. But the game is such that sometimes you make mistakes, but our plan is not to complicate things and keep them simple,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It's a simple scenario for us.
