Onlly one team can win the cup. So, the other team has to lose. However, we like the way you played. Good luck for next matches and the next world cup.

The boys reiterated that they did this for Sachin. Good thing too. Had they played for India, they probably would not have come to the Semis. Proud to be a Sachinian!
