Man of the Match Gautam Gambhir: "Very important to win this game especially after losing the last game. We needed to get some momentum before we play the home games. I thought it was a 170 wicket and we knew that the ball will come on nicely under the lights. "The bowlers took wickets up front and I think we paced the chase perfectly. There is no pressure on Sunil Narine. He will get more confident as the tournament progresses and he is out trump card. He will definitely get better."
