Nicholas Pooran (WI): Disappointed. The players are feeling hurt, it's the first game of the series and we are looking to bounce back. 18 overs it was 150 I guess and then they took the momentum away from us, we just have to work on our discipline. The spinners did well and we have to look at some of the combinations going ahead.
