'Hopefully I can better in Future performance' - Rikaz

"It's a good way to start off the tour having practised Turf and Grass Grounds for the last few months," Mohammed Rikaz said after the match two weeks ago. "But it's only the first daynight success, and there's plenty more cricket to come, so hopefully, I can better this performance. We all know the nature of turfball cricket - the bowler is always up against it. The series could be important for the confidence of both teams after they failed to reach the semi-finals of the Srilankan tour.

"You can take five wickets one day, and the next day, take a thumping, but I enjoyed it. It was not an easy day for the batters, and you had to graft pretty hard. Playing shots was not easy, and there was a strong wind, so there were a lot of things you had to take into consideration.

"It was obviously nice to start with a win. This was the most important thing for us. We have worked really hard over the last few months here in WLP-wonderland park, had a few discussions, the energy has been good around the team, and a lot of new faces have come in. We want to have a good tour of the WLP, so success in this match was very important to getting us off on the right foot." "We still have a match on next friday night, so we have to pick ourselves up. This is no time for pointing fingers. We have a lot of corrections to make out there, and we have to return to the drawing board to try and get the best out of the players."
