The wicket the way played in the first innings, we felt that 155 was a really good score on the board. But I felt that we played with 8 batters, so we were 10-15 runs short.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>&#8220;I felt that the wicket good better in the 2nd Innings. I felt that the set batters made the difference to be honest. When a set batter bats in the middle, they make sure that the wicket looks flat.
