Our bowling is doing great in this tournament and good getting the opportunity to bowl first. [How challenging is chasing?] I think while batting it's always about giving ourselves some time and then going for your shots. And I think the first two games we did really well in that department and hopefully we'll continue. [On leading for the 150th time in T20Is] Great achievement. But the key is keep enjoying yourself on the field and that is a key, I try to keep up with that. [What score would you like to chase?] We'll try to restrict them for a short total, so there won't be pressure while chasing.
