But to be honest, it\u2019s always tough to play against a team which has nothing to lose. They were in a situation where they could try a lot of things. We had to be more careful,\u201d said Virat.<\/p>\n<p>Nawroz Mangal, the losing captain, said that it was a good game for the boys. \u201cWe could have done better. Our shot selection poor and that\u2019s why we have lost the game. We could have done better in the field.
