"We would have batted first as well. Looks a good batting surface. I think we are pretty good overall. We have two good wins in the start and the middle period and today, we will look to finish on a high. This is the biggest crowd we have had in the whole tournament. It will be a great atmosphere and India are a quality side. We have to be at our best. It's something huge for us to qualify for the World Cup here in India. We feel we would have played better in a couple of games but qualifying here for the World Cup has been huge for us."
