Intro:

Fast bowler Mohammad Shami said on Friday (13th March) that India will push for another win and continue their World Cup winning streak as they prepared for their final Pool B match against Zimbabwe in Auckland, New Zealand.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Hindi) Mohammad Shami:

(on the approach of the team to playing Zimbabwe)

"Whoever we play against, be it Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Australia, England, whoever... we just look to win the game, because cricket is such a game where anything can happen any time. The only way we will look at this game is to continue we have played so far and we need to win this at any cost."

SOUNDBITE (Hindi) Mohammad Shami:

(about how he deals with adversity on the cricket pitch)

"Well, I haven't faced such a hard time that I have had to think too much about it, thanks to allah, everything is going well (for me). However, whenever something goes wrong, I go back to my room and think about it or talk about it to my captain or team-mates. Think about what could have happened, then try not to repeat it in practice, and feel good about it."

SOUNDBITE (Hindi) Mohammad Shami:

(on the game plan for the Zimbabwe match)

"In the matches so far, what you have seen... well, we have been winning and you have seen that... so we will try and continue to do whatever is working for us and try and get our next win. That would be our main focus. Fewer mistakes, so that we are in the fight, and continue whatever is working well for us."
