The Dutch mentioned that his team was not particularly good at defending in the match.
¡°The defending was not good enough especially defending in the circle. So we focussed on that. It also helps keep your mind away from winning and losing. It¡¯s all about the mindset. I told the girls that we have nothing to lose, so play free, and that¡¯s what we did today. It¡¯s like a dream come true. I think this is the Chak De India in reality," he said.
